On Sunday afternoon, Napoli host struggling Salernitana in the Derby Campania, as both teams look for points at different ends of the Serie A table.
Napoli are still hopeful that they can mount a challenge for the Scudetto this season. The Azzurri currently sit third place in the Italian top-flight table, four points adrift of table-toppers Inter, who have also played a game fewer than the Neapolitans.
After a slight wobble in form towards the end of last year, Luciano Spalletti’s team may be returning to the sort of form needed to challenge for the Serie A title.
A 2-0 win at Bologna means that Napoli has now claimed back-to-back league wins and clean sheets.
Napoli’s usually decent home form has slipped in recent weeks. However, a 1-0 home win over Sampdoria last time out ended a three-match losing streak at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.The match was the third straight home game to produce under 2.5 goals for Napoli.
Salernitana are rock bottom of Serie A, having taken just ten points from their 21 league outings this season. The visitors look destined to suffer relegation to Serie B, even if they are only two points adrift of 19th-place Genoa.
The visitors head into this clash on the back of six defeats in their last seven matches in Serie A.
Considering the poor recent results, it is not surprising that they have been poor at both ends of the pitch. Salernitana has failed to score in all six of those recent league defeats, while also conceding at least two goals in each loss too.
Salernitana won their last away game in Serie A, beating Verona 2-1. The victory ended a five-game winless run on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Napoli will record a narrow win in a low-scoring encounter to keep alive any hopes of catching Inter at the top of the table.
