Salernitana vs Team Altamura Prediction 23.03.2026 | Serie C

US Salernitana 1919 have navigated a turbulent spell following their recent relegations from the upper tiers of Italian football with admirable resilience, and they now appear firmly on course to re-establish themselves among the elite, currently occupying third place in the Serie C Group C standings with 57 points to their name.

Despite their strong league position, the Granata remain seven points adrift of second-placed Catania FC, leaving them with little room for error if they are to sustain pressure on the automatic playoff quarter-final spot and avoid the uncertainty that comes with the earlier playoff rounds.

The atmosphere at Stadio Arechi has proven to be a significant driving force behind their impressive campaign, with the home supporters witnessing a remarkably disciplined defensive record, as their side have conceded just 13 goals on their own turf throughout the season, placing them among the division’s most resolute backlines.

As for team news, right-back Ettore Quirini will miss Monday’s clash against Team Altamura due to suspension, while both Matteo Arena and Roberto Inglese remain sidelined as they continue their recovery from injury setbacks.

Altamura, meanwhile, make the trip to Stadio Arechi occupying a respectable 11th place in the Serie C Group C standings with 40 points to their name, although they slipped out of the playoff spots last week following a frustrating 2-1 home defeat to Catania.

A major concern for Leoni remains their lack of attacking efficiency on the road, having failed to find the back of the net in half of their 16 away fixtures this season, an issue that continues to undermine their overall consistency.

With only a handful of matches left to break into the playoff positions, the Apulian outfit are fully aware that anything less than a positive result on Monday could significantly dent their ambitions, especially considering their recent result struggles, having lost four of their last six third-tier outings.

Head coach Devis Mangia can take some encouragement from a clean bill of health within his squad, but he will be forced to make at least one adjustment in defense, as centre-back Fabrizio Poli serves a suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the campaign last time out.
