Napoli vs Salernitana Predictions

• Napoli have the best defensive record in Serie A, conceding just 15 goals in 22 games this season.
• Luciano Spalletti’s team have also conceded the fewest goals in home league games this term, shipping just seven in 11 matches on their own turf.
• Salernitana have lost 10 of their last 12 games to nil.

Napoli back on track

A run of three wins and a draw in their last five league games has seen Napoli overcome their recent injury crisis, and Luciano Spalletti’s men now sit just four points from the Serie A summit, albeit having played an extra game. More importantly, they still have a five-point cushion to Juventus in fifth.

Napoli have only conceded two goals in their last five games, although they were thrashed by Fiorentina in a Coppa Italia tie when reduced to nine men last week. The Partenopei still have Serie A’s meanest rearguard, conceding just 15 goals in their 22 games to date. Likewise, Spalletti’s charges have only conceded seven times in 11 games at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Serie A this season.

Spalletti will expect a comfortable afternoon against the lowest-scoring team in the division, Salernitana. Serie A’s bottom club have only found the net 13 times this season, and have lost to nil on 10 of their last 12 outings, managing just a single win during that period.

Back hosts for a shutout win

Napoli have kept 12 clean sheets in Serie A this season, winning 11 of those games. Considering Napoli’s defensive solidity and Salernitana’s woeful attacking record, backing the home side for a win and a clean sheet is a no-brainer ahead of Sunday’s match.

While Napoli only beat Salernitana by a single goal in the reverse fixture, the bottom club have been beaten by more than a one-goal margin in eight of the 10 league games they’ve played since that day. With that in mind, back a recovering Napoli team for a 3-0 success on the correct score market.
