Salernitana vs Cagliari Prediction 22.10.2023

• Competition: Italy &— Serie A
• Date: Sunday, 22nd, October 2023
• Kickoff: 14:00 UTC +1 / 15.00 CEST
• Venue: Stadio Arechi (Salerno)

Salernitana and Cagliari, both teams that are still seeking their first win in this year’s Serie A, will face each other on Sunday at the Stadio Arechi.

Based on the initial results in this season’s Serie A, it appears that the Campania-based club will have a challenging task in replicating their previous successful campaign. They comfortably avoided relegation by a margin of 12 points. However, Salernitana has yet to experience the joy of winning after playing eight games, which explains their current position second-to-last on the table with only three points. It is not surprising that their hope for a victory lies in Sunday’s match, especially since two out of their three points were earned at their home stadium. The team will approach the game with optimism, longing for their first triumph of the season.

However, Cagliari’s comeback to Serie A has been far from successful. Despite earning their spot back in the Italian top flight through the playoffs, narrowly defeating Bari 1-0 in a tense final, their return has been nothing short of a nightmare. If their fortunes don’t change soon, they may find themselves relegated back to Serie B next season. Similar to their opponents on Sunday, Cagliari is among the few teams in the league that have yet to taste victory this season. With only two points to their name, they currently sit at the bottom of the Serie A standings.

Salernitana vs Cagliari Betting Tips: Salernitana to Win

After a promising start to the season, which saw Salernitana secure a 1-0 victory over Ternana in the Coppa Italia and draw 2-2 against AS Roma and 1-1 against Udinese, their performance took a nosedive. The team suffered five defeats in their last six league matches, including a harsh 0-3 loss to Monza before the international break. This string of poor results was unacceptable to the club’s management in Campania. Consequently, Paulo Sousa has been relieved of his duties, and the legendary Filippo Inzaghi has been appointed as his replacement. The timing for Inzaghi to take charge of the club couldn’t have been better, as he begins his rescue mission against the team currently at the bottom of the league.

Despite guiding his team to a swift promotion to Calcio’s top tier, it seems that time is running out for Claudio Ranieri, as his Cagliari has suffered five defeats in the last six league encounters, and what’s worse, there’s no end to the crisis in sight just yet. And, as if that weren’t bad enough, the situation becomes even more alarming when we see that the Sardinian outfit is leaking goals for fun, conceding three or more goals in each of their last three league matches. Although it’s a clash of the two least successful teams here, the presence of a new coach and strong backing from the home fans could provide Salernitana with the opportunity to finally breathe some fresh air and restore their confidence with a victory over Cagliari.
