Napoli vs Salernitana prediction 13.01.2024

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: Saturday, 13th January 2024
• Kickoff: 14:00 UTC / 15:00 CET
• Venue: Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples)

Many had high hopes for Napoli to make progress after their Serie A victory last season, but currently, they are far from that form. Napoli currently occupies the 9th position on the league table, however, they are just five points behind the fourth spot, suggesting a possible quick rise for Walter Mazzari’s squad if they can string together some wins. Napoli’s recent form has been poor, with no victories in their last four matches across all competitions. They have also failed to find the back of the net during this period. Over the weekend, they suffered a 3-0 defeat against Torino, marking yet another disappointing performance.

Salernitana managed to avoid relegation last season, but halfway through the 2023/24 season, they find themselves at the bottom of the table, three points away from safety. They have only secured one win in their last seven games. Their most recent match resulted in a 2-1 home loss against Juventus. Salernitana had an expected goals (xG) of 0.58, compared to Juventus’ 2.26. Despite this, the game was evenly matched until stoppage time in the second half when Dusan Vlahovic scored the decisive goal for Juventus, narrowly denying Salernitana a draw.

Napoli vs Salernitana pick: Both teams to score &— No

As previously stated, Napoli failed to score in their last four matches. Conversely, Salernitana managed to net five goals in their prior four games. Given this, a bet on both teams not scoring would be a fitting wager for this match.
