Let’s check the latest Serie A odds, stats, injury reports, and Serie A lines for Salernitana vs Napoli. We’ve plenty of Serie A betting odds for you to consider.
Salernitana: Struggling at the Back
When Davide Nicola took over Salernitana back in February 2022, the Granata already seemed doomed to relegation right after their return to Serie A. They had lost 16 of their 21 games to that point, had registered only three wins, and lacked any kind of game plan or self-belief that they could change their destiny.
Nicola changed all that, and with a bit of luck, Salernitana became the team with the lowest points tally to remain in the top-flight league. Under Nicola, Salernitana recorded 18 points in the remaining 15 matches to stay up. It is now sitting 16th in the standings with 18 points to its name, nine points above the danger zone.
After being rewarded with a new two-year contract in June, Salernitana fired coach Davide Nicola on Monday, a day after the team lost 8-2 at Atalanta. The result was Salernitana’s fourth loss in its past five matches. They are yet to name a coach, and we don’t expect the team to return to winning ways this weekend, so if you’re betting online, you should start fading it.
The team will be without Giulio Maggiore, goalkeeper Luigi Sepe and captain Pasquale Mazzocchi due to injury. Lassana Coulibaly and centre-back Flavius Daniliuc are back in the squad after serving their suspensions due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Napoli: Scoring Goals for Fun
Napoli enters this clash on the back of an incredible run of one defeat in its last 14 league games. It leads the Serie A standings with 47 points picked up in 18 games. It snapped Juventus’s eight-match Serie A winning streak in spectacular style, handing Massimiliano Allegri’s men a humiliating 5-1 thrashing on Friday in the top-of-the-table clash.
Napoli moved nine points clear at the top of the standings taking advantage of AC Milan’s away draw against Lecce. Napoli is now chasing its first Serie A title since 1990, and if it keeps playing that well, it will definitely lift the trophy at the end of the season.
The Blues are the best road team in the Italian top-flight league this term, with seven wins in nine games and 18 goals scored. They are scoring many goals against teams at the bottom half of the table, and we expect them to do it again on Saturday, so we will continue to include them in our soccer picks and parlays.

Without a coach but also in poor form, Salernitana is expected to lose another match against the leader. Its defensive struggles will once again be exposed by the best attack in the league as we expect an easy away win and a high-scoring affair.
