Six games to go and Salernitana could still mathmatically survive, but their task seems almost impossible, and even those associated with the club are waiting for their fate to be confirmed. This Sunday they are at home, one of four games taking place in Serie A on the day, with Fiorentina no doubt on a high after reaching the semi finals of the Europa Conference League on Thursday.
Salernitana Form GuideBottom of the table with just two wins all season, Serie B is calling for Salernitana, who have found the top flight so tough this season. They've lost four of their last five games, with a draw in the other, and are 13 points away from safety, 11 points off the side above them, Sassuolo.
They come here on the back of a big 4-1 defeat against Lazio last Friday, a game where they were completely outplayed. They did draw with Sassuolo before that, but then lost three in a row, and obviously, in the position they are in right now, they need more than draws to get out of danger.
Fiorentina Form GuideFiorentina have dropped to the middle of the table after what has been a poor run of form in Serie A. Elsewhere, they've been going along nicely in Europa and made the Europa Conference League semi finals on Thursday night with a win. But, five league games without a win, their last Serie A success was all the way back in February.
They won 2-0 on Thursday at home to Viktoria Plzen to make the semi finals of the Conference League, a good home success on the back of a good 0-0 tie away from home. In their last league game, they drew 1-1 with Genoa last weekend.
Match PredictionWe haven't seen anywhere near the best of Fiorentina in Serie A recently, but despite that, I am still going to choose them to win this game. Salernitana are struggling, and I see them losing again here.
