Fiorentina vs Salernitana Prediction 03.12.2023

• Competition: Italy &— Serie A
• Date: Sunday, 3rd, December 2023
• Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15.00 CET
• Venue: Stadio Artemio Franchi (Florenze)

Salernitana, invigorated by their first Serie A victory of the season, aims to upset Fiorentina’s strategies when they enter Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday afternoon.

Fiorentina heads into the 14th Serie A matchday with positive momentum after a midweek comeback where they overcame a one-goal deficit to secure a late 2-1 victory over Genk. This places them just one point away from progressing to the Round of 16 in the Europa Conference League. Despite their impressive performance in Europe, Fiorentina’s domestic league performance is less stellar, currently holding the eighth position with a total of 20 points. This highlights the difference in their success in European versus domestic games. However, there is still hope for La Viola to reach the Champions League as they are only four points behind the fourth place, currently held by Napoli.

Salernitana is currently struggling with a severe performance crisis this season, making it seem nearly impossible to match their 15th place finish from last season based on their current performances. The challenges Granata faces are most clearly illustrated by their astonishing 13-week delay in securing their first full points. That victory, however, came against none other than last season’s second-place team, Lazio, as they recovered from a halftime deficit, with Antonio Candreva playing a key role in the comeback. Regrettably, despite their win over Biancocelesti, they remain stuck at the bottom of the standings due to their disastrous start to the season, having amassed just eight points.

Fiorentina vs Salernitana Betting Tips: Over 2.5

At this point, it’s not recommended to support the hosts, considering Fiorentina’s significant loss of form in recent weeks, managing only three points from a possible 15 in their previous five Serie A matches. This slump, primarily due to a lack of productivity in the final third, has resulted in a sudden dip in form for La Viola. However, facing the league’s weakest defense presents a chance to regain confidence and scoring form. Knowing their Sunday opponents are struggling with poor results, Salernitana &— fresh off their first victory against the Roman powerhouse, Lazio &— will aim to shake up another big name in Italian football.

The newly-appointed Filippo Inzaghi is particularly satisfied with his team’s offensive performance, as they have managed to score twice in consecutive matches. They aim to maintain this offensive momentum against Fiorentina, a team they have successfully scored against six times in their past three encounters. However, the bleak reality that Salernitana has left Stadio Artemio Franchi without any points in all five of their visits, giving up 14 goals in the process, and their dismal away record—only one win in 2023—offers little hope for them this Sunday. In this face-off between two attacking teams eager for a win, we anticipate a high-scoring game filled with opportunities and goals. However, we believe Fiorentina will come out on top, securing all three points.
