Salernitana vs Verona Betting Tips: BTTS / Draw

While Salernitana are guaranteed to finish bottom of the Serie A standings, Verona come into this fixture still not safe from the threat of relegation. Only two points above the drop zone in a tightly contested fight to avoid relegation, the visitors know a win on Sunday could secure their place in the top flight next season.

Verona will feel optimistic of claiming a win against a home side that has lost eight of their last nine matches at the Stadio Arechi. Still, with only one away win to their name this season, it´s tough to have confidence in the visitors getting the win they need.

Of course, the same applies to the home side who have failed to win 17 of 18 home games played this season. With neither side offering much inspiration in the WDW market, we turn instead to our preferred goal selections.

The hosts have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals in 75% of home games played since November. Salernitana have failed to keep a clean sheet in ALL 18 matches played at the Stadio Arechi this season.

Similarly, Verona have managed only three clean sheets in 18 away Serie A fixtures this season, so by that logic, BTTS looks a likely outcome on Sunday.

Ultimately, with both so poor in respective home and away fixtures, a share of the spoils with both teams scoring seems the likeliest outcome in a fixture where both teams will be desperate to claim all three points.
