Rock-bottom Salernitana and top-placed Inter Milan go head-to-head in a seemingly straightforward Serie A task for the traveling side.
A 1-0 defeat at fellow relegation Serie A strugglers Genoa in midweek Coppa Italia action was the least of Salernitana’s problems as they take the field winless in seven league matches on the trot (D1, L6). Nailed to the bottom of the table in terms of both points (8) and losses (13), the newly-promoted hosts already look like a doomed outfit here. A lack of firepower in the front third has seen Salernitana score a league-low 11 goals so far this season (0.64 per game). In turn, Stefano Colantuono’s men have lost four consecutive Serie A home fixtures in the build-up to this clash, failing to get on the scoresheet in the last three in a row. Though Salernitana’s form this season suggests they could surrender without a fight here, the home side can draw confidence from boasting a 100% win ratio in their top-flight H2Hs as hosts.
On the other hand, reigning champions Inter Milan have overtaken bitter rivals AC Milan at the Serie A summit, courtesy of a five-game winning league streak. New manager Simone Inzaghi has picked up where his predecessor Antonio Conte left off, at least in terms of Inter’s attacking set-up. With 15 different players on the scoresheet for ‘I Nerazzurri’ this season, Inter have now found the back of the net in 36 Serie A games on the bounce. Having scored a staggering 98 Serie A goals in 2021, Inter are only two goals away from becoming only the fourth side in the competition’s history to smash a 100-goal barrier in a single calendar year. Adding to their confidence, Inzaghi’s men have won their last four Serie A fixtures by an aggregate score of 11-0, enjoying a longer winning run in the competition without conceding only twice so far.
