Roma vs Salernitana Predictions

• Roma have won four of their last five league games to nil.
• The Giallorossi have kept five clean sheets in their last eight matches in all competitions.
• Salernitana have lost three of their last four games to nil.

Giallorossi look to bounce back from European woes

Another away defeat to Jose Mourinho’s new archnemeses Bodo/Glimt has left Roma’s Europa Conference League hopes hanging by a thread ahead of next week’s second leg, but the capital club should be more than capable of bouncing back against rock-bottom Salernitana in Serie A.

Roma are unbeaten in 10 league games, winning six, and have won four of their last five in Serie A to maintain an outside chance of a surprise top-four finish. Mourinho’s men, though they conceded twice in Norway on Thursday, have been in excellent defensive form in recent weeks, winning four of their last five league matches to nil. The Giallorossi also boast a strong defensive record in the capital, being one of just five Serie A teams to average under a goal conceded per home game this term.

Salernitana, then, could prove the perfect opponents as Mourinho attempts to navigate a two-front battle for Roma. The rock-bottom club have hit a staggeringly low 22 goals in their 30 league games, and, after a brief period in which their attacking returns improved, are back to their dour selves. They have lost three of their last four league games to nil, having found the net in each of their previous four.

Salernitana pose no threat to solid hosts

Given Salernitana have both the worst goals record and the lowest expected goals (xG) tally in Serie A this term (a dreadful 25.6 in 30 games), Roma should have no problem securing another shutout win.

Roma hammered Salernitana 4-0 in August’s return fixture, but may not win so comprehensively here after scoring just one goal in seven of their last eight games. A comfortable 2-0 home win, however, could offer decent correct score value.
