Salernitana vs Sassuolo Prediction & Betting Tips (5 April)

Not at the level of its opponents this season, Salernitana occupies last place in Serie A with only 14 points taken in 30 matches. The red lantern no longer has many illusions about its chances of maintaining 11 units of expenditure on the first non-relegation. Unable to win in the last 12 days, 2 draws and 10 defeats, Antonio Candreva's partners seem to have given up. After taking a point on the Udinese field 1-1, they in turn lost against Cagliari 4-2, Lecce 0-1 and Bologna last Monday 3-0. Not expected to be in such difficulty this season, Sassuolo is currently 19th in Serie A and 1 point behind the first non-relegation team.

Andrea Pinamonti's teammates will therefore have to work harder in the final stretch. After going 8 games without a win, they responded by dominating Frosinone at home 1-0. Since this momentous success, Sassuolo narrowly fell to Roma 1-0 before preserving, at home, the draw against Udinese last Monday 1-1.

For Salernitana, it is necessary to highlight the withdrawals of the number 1 goalkeeper Ochoa, the potentially starting defenders Fazio and Gyömber as well as the important midfielder Kastanos. Furthermore, striker Boulaye Dia (4 goals in SA) remains away from the group after his refusal to come into play earlier in the season. The red lantern has the 19th attack and the worst defense in the championship. In this final sprint to avoid going down, Sassuolo deplores the unavailability of its international winger Berardi (9 goals and 3 assists in SA), who will not return to the field this season.

This is a very detrimental absence but it is the only one this Friday since the important defender Erlic has finished serving his suspension. More solid for some time, Sassuolo has only conceded 3 goals in the last 4 days. Scorer against Udinese, winger Defrel should start just like striker Pinamonti (9 goals in SA).
