Match Preview

The Garnets welcome Cagliari Calcio to the Stadio Arechi on Sunday for this Serie A match. Sunday's Serie A fixtures pits two teams against each other in a real relegation six-pointer, featuring the sides in 17th and 18th in the table separated by just a single point.

Salernitana have jumped out of the relegation zone for now with four wins in their last five but could easily get sucked back into the drop zone with a poor return from their final three games.

Cagliari have the worst return from their last eight games of all teams considered to still be in a relegation battle from 15th to 19th. They can’t afford to lose this match as it would leave them four points adrift of safety with just six points to play for.

US Salernitana come into the match on a run of five league games undefeated. They have picked up 13 points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Serie A matches.

I Granata won their last league match at home to Venezia on Thursday evening. Expected goals of 2.0 to 1.3 in favour of Salernitana indicates it was likely a fair result. I Granata were awarded a penalty in the opening minutes which Federico Bonazzoli stepped up to convert for his side. The final score of the match was 2-1.

Bonazzoli is US Salernitana’s top scorer with nine goals in Serie A this season and is 3/1 to move into double figures by scoring against Cagliari Calcio on Sunday.

Their opponent on Sunday, Cagliari Calcio, come into the match on a run of three away defeats in a row. They have picked up three points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Serie A matches.

The Islanders lost their last league match at home to Hellas Verona. Expected goals of 1.6 to 0.7 in favour of Verona indicates perhaps it was a fair result. João Pedro’s goal came with his side already two goals down and didn’t spark the comeback he would have hoped for. He now has 13 league goals this season for Cagliari and is the 5.5/1 favourite to get the game’s final goal again here. The final score of the match was 1-2.

US Salernitana team news

Luigi Sepe has established himself as first-choice goalkeeper at the Garnets since the start of February. However, he only lasted an hour of the match against Venezia before being replaced by former Inter keeper Vid Belec. Belec is expected to start here on Sunday.

Franck Ribéry (muscle fatigue), Luigi Sepe, Wajdi Kechrida, Mamadou Coulibaly (muscle injury), and Luca Ranieri (muscular problems) will be unavailable for The Garnets due to injury on Sunday. They are otherwise likely to stick with a winning team after beating Venezia in their last league match.

Cagliari Calcio team news

Injuries will rule out Adam Obert (ankle injury) for the trip to the Stadio Arechi.

Cagliari Calcio may look to shuffle their deck voluntarily having lost against Hellas Verona in their last league match. Alessandro Deiola and Razvan Marin were both replaced in midfield at the start of the second half and could find themselves on the bench here.
