Salernitana vs AS Roma Betting Tips: Roma to Win

Despite making a brilliant start to the match by taking the lead after less than two minutes, Salernitana finished empty-handed at the end after bowing out in a 2-1 defeat against Genoa, signing their seventh setback in the last nine matches across various competitions.

Hovering with a meager 12 points in their account so far, the Campania-based club is firmly cemented at the bottom of the table, and their top-flight status could be seriously jeopardized in the near future if they don't boost their victory tally, considering they have only been on top twice during the current campaign from 21 gameweeks.

Lying six points below the safety harbor, the team's hopes under Filippo Inzaghi to turn things around and avoid relegation aren't optimistic, as Granata struggles at both ends of the pitch, ranking as the second-lowest scorer with 18 goals, while simultaneously holding the title for the poorest backline with an alarming 42 conceded.

Salernitana's losing streak could extend to four league matches this weekend as they host a resurgent Roma side, which managed to eke out a narrow 2-1 triumph against Hellas Verona in front of the Roman faithful in Daniele De Rossi's managerial debut, rejoining the race for a Champions League spot.

The newly appointed successor to Jose Mourinho will attempt to achieve something no one has in the past decade – claim maximum points from the opening two league affairs, which seems doable as the Giallorossi boast a favorable head-to-head record against Salernitana, beating them six times out of nine face-offs thus far.

Even if Granata managed to find the back of the net lately, defensive fissures—conceding 12 goals in the last four consecutive defeats—hinder them from contemplating better results, so the revitalized De Rossi-led Roma should capitalize on their opponents' defensive vulnerabilities to seize the full bounty of Monday's away encounter.
