Salernitana would be looking to extend their three games unbeaten run when they welcome FC Bologna on Saturday evening.
The hosts go into this game with a lot of confidence after they came from a half-time deficit to earn a point against reigning champions AC Milan last time out. Thanks to that point, Paulo Sousa's side extended their lead over the relegation zone to seven points, so a defeat this weekend wouldn't hurt too much. Still, Salernitana fans will have a small glimmer of hope that they can actually win this game, as the Granata have lost only one of their previous five meetings with the visitors.
Meanwhile, the Bolognese have been performing exceptionally in recent weeks, despite failing to win their last two matches. In the last nine matches, Thiago Motta's men have lost only twice. Backed by wins against Inter Milan, Fiorentina, Udinese, Spezia and Sampdoria in that period, the Red and Blues are the favorites to take the three points this weekend.
Salernitana vs Bologna Betting Tips: Team 2 to win
Although the hosts have won only one of their last six league games, they have not been defeated by a large goal margin. In their last seven Serie A games, they conceded more than one goal in a match only twice.
Considering that Bologna's recent games have also been very close - four of the last five ended with less than 1.5 goals - Saturday's match is likely to be a very tight game. Nevertheless, we expect the guests to go home with three points.

Salernitana Team News
Dylan Bronn has missed the last three games for Salernitana following the straight red card against Lazio at the end of last month, but the defender would be available this weekend.
Pasquale Mazzocchi who recently recovered from a knee surgery made his first start for the club since mid-November against Milan, but William Troost-Ekong is still nursing his own knee injury.
Lorenzo Pirola was taken off last time out after about an hour due to an injury, so the centre-back is a doubt for Saturday’s game against FC Bologna.

Bologna Team News
Riccardo Orsolini who has three goals and three assists to his name for FC Bologna this season was absent from last weekend’s draw with Lazio due to muscle fatigue and the winger remains a doubt for this game.
Should the 26-year-old miss out, he will be joined in the treatment room by the likes of Nicola Bagnolini and Nicolás Domínguez who are nursing shoulder and knee injuries respectively.
