Preliminary review and match prediction for Salernitana vs Bologna
The fact that Salernitana drew their last three matches shows that they are willing to fight for their spot in Serie A. Moreover, the Garnets put on a heroic performance against leaders Milan last Saturday and against all odds collected a precious point from the Rossoneri.
Notably, Salernitana have two games in hand against Venezia and Udinese. If they manage to win both, they will boost their chances of a real battle for survival. For now though, despite not losing in three games, the Garnets need to win any cost to keep in touch with the safety zone.
Bologna may have loosened up in recent weeks as they are seven points above the danger zone with 28. Nonetheless, with 14 rounds still to play, anything is possible and Sinisa Mihajlovic knows that and will urge his team to fight for the three points no matter what.
With just one win since December, the Rossoblu’s level showed some instability. To demonstrate, Bologna beat the likes of Roma, Lazio, and Sassuolo but lost to Cagliari and Venezia who are at the bottom four of the Serie A table.
Salernitana vs Bologna Prediction
That draw with Milan last week not only gained a point for the Garnets but also boosted their confidence. Surely coach Nicola Davide will hope his team can build on that result and have a streak of wins. However, Bologna proved that they have a lethal counter-attacking strategy that can overcome any opposition. Thus our prediction is to back a double chance of draw or away win.
Safe Bet
Both Salernitana and Bologna scored when playing against teams in the bottom eight places of the Serie A. In detail, in seven of their eight matches played against teams that are ranked 14th and lower, they were both able to score. Hence we think we will see goals from both sides in this match with odds of 1.70.
Quick Rich
Salernitana seem to be experts in drawing now after three in a row. On the other side, Bologna, playing against the bottom team who are desperate for a win may settle for a draw themselves if the pressure was too high from the hosts. Therefore we see a draw a big possibility for a quick profit with odds of 3.58 at Vbet.
