Napoli vs. Salernitana Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Napoli vs. Salernitana

Struggling Serie A defending champions Napoli face bottom-placed Salernitana in their inaugural 2024 match at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday.

Walter Mazzarri’s team aims to bounce back from the recent 3-0 defeat at Torino, while Filippo Inzaghi’s side remains disheartened after the late events in the narrow 2-1 loss to Juventus in gameweek 19.

The managerial change at Napoli hasn’t yielded significant improvement, as Mazzarri struggles to extract consistent performances from last season’s Scudetto winners.

The recent 3-0 loss to Torino marked a disheartening start to the New Year for the Partenopei, who have suffered four defeats in their last six league games, with only a 2-1 home win over Cagliari breaking the pattern.

Under Mazzarri’s tenure, Napoli’s sole other league victory came against Atalanta BC in late November, reflecting an inconsistency that has left last season’s league winners positioned in ninth place in Serie A.

What to remember – Napoli vs. Salernitana

Despite the significant 16-point gap between the teams, Napoli’s track record of just one victory in five matches at the Maradona (three in 23-24 overall) adds an element of uncertainty to Saturday’s game against Salernitana.

This suggests that a Napoli victory is not assured, even considering Salernitana’s broader struggles on the road.
