Salernitana vs Sassuolo prediction and betting tips on April 5, 2024
In the 31st round of the Italian Serie A, a match between Salernitana and Sassuolo will take place in Salerno on Friday, April 5th. The game is scheduled to start at 20:45 Central European Time.
Salernitana
The club from Salerno is the main underperformer of the current season in the Italian Serie A. After 30 matches played, the team has only managed to secure two victories, and conceding 62 goals stands as the worst defensive record among all teams in the league. Needless to say, Salernitana is hopelessly at the bottom of the league table, and several changes in coaching staff haven't helped improve their situation. Recently, the team has been led by former youth team department head Stefano Colantuono, but time is running out for him - they are currently 11 points behind the 17th position, which would ensure survival.
Sassuolo
Sassuolo is positioned in the Serie A table adjacent to their upcoming opponent, but they have decent chances of retaining their place in the top flight. After a defeat to Roma, the team managed to draw with Udinese and is only one point behind Empoli and Frosinone, who are placed higher. Sassuolo faces a tough schedule ahead, but under the guidance of Ballardinі, they will surely fight until the end.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head History

Salernitana vs Sassuolo Prediction
Bookmakers slightly favor the away team in this confrontation. Considering the not-so-great form of both clubs, I will bet on the total number of goals being under 3.
