Salernitana vs Milan prediction and betting tips on December 22, 2023
Matchday 17 of Serie A will feature a clash between Salernitana and Milan at the Stadio Arechi on Friday, December 22nd, kicking off at 20:45 Central European Time.
Salernitana
This match holds a significant meaning for the head coach, Filippo Inzaghi. Milan is where 'Pippo' spent the best years of his football career, albeit with less success as a manager. Currently, as a coach, he's noticeably trailing behind his brother Simone, who leads another Milanese club, Inter. With only one win in 16 matches, Salernitana sits at the bottom of the league table, trailing five points behind the 17th position.
Milan
Recently victorious against Newcastle in the UEFA Champions League away match, Milan secured only the third spot in their group. Their spring European campaign will continue in the UEFA Europa League. In Serie A, Pioli's team lags significantly behind both Inter and Juventus, nine and five points respectively. In their last game, the 'Rossoneri' convincingly defeated Monza, currently maintaining a decent position in third place.
Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
- Salernitana has suffered three consecutive losses.
- Milan hasn't won an away Serie A match since early October.
- Salernitana has never won against Milan in their history.
Prediction
I don't believe Salernitana stands a chance in this game. The guests should confidently defeat the season's biggest underachiever. My bet will be on Milan to win with a -1 handicap.
