Roma vs Salernitana Predictions

• Both teams scored in 10 of Salernitana’s final 13 games, they scored in 12 of those.
• These sides played out a 2-2 draw at this venue in May.
• Roma conceded in five of their final six home games last season.

Salernitana test for Roma

Roma entertain Salernitana in the opening round of Serie A fixtures on Sunday in what could be a tough game for Jose Mourinho’s men.

I Granata finished in 15th spot in Serie A last season, 10 places and 24 points behind their hosts, but they were Serie A’s draw specialists with 15 of their 38 games finishing all-square – including a 2-2 draw with Roma at this venue in May.

Both teams to score a strong starting point

The Giallorossi should be able to claim all three points, but Salernitana’s knack of picking up points means that both teams to score looks the best starting point for our main bet.

The visitors scored in 12 of their final 13 games last season and both teams scored in 10 of those, and they have now scored in 13 of their last 14 outings after a 1-0 cup win over Ternana earlier this week.

Roma only managed one clean sheet in their final six home games last term and they also scored in five of those fixtures themselves.

Backing the hosts to record a hard-fought 2-1 win looks a reasonable correct score bet. Mourinho’s side won 10 of their final 14 home games last season across all competitions and five of those victories were by one-goal margins.
