Salernitana vs Fiorentina Prediction & Betting Tips (21 April)

La Salernitana is experiencing a nightmarish 2023/2024 financial year and should not avoid the decline at the end of the season. The red lantern has only pocketed 15 points after 32 matches and concedes a significant outlay of 13 units on the first non-relegation. Antonio Candreva's teammates have been coasting for several weeks now, evidenced by the current streak of 14 games without a win, 3 draws and 11 defeats. After managing to hold off relegation Sassuolo 2-2, Salernitana lost at Lazio last weekend 4-1. Considered a credible candidate for European places this season, Fiorentina should have difficulty in reach this goal.

Indeed, the Tuscans are currently 10th in Serie A and are 7 points behind 6th place. Unable to win in the last 5 days, 3 draws and 2 defeats, they remain on a split points conceded, at home, against Genoa 1-1. This week, Fiorentina needed extra time to overcome Viktoria Plzen in the quarter-final of the Europa Conference League 2-0 after extra time. In the Italian Cup, the Viola won their semi-final first leg played at home against Atalanta 1-0.

Salernitana deplores the withdrawals of the usually holding midfielders Kastanos, Maggiore, Gyomber and Basic and the more dispensable Boateng and Manolas. Furthermore, important midfielder Coulibaly is suspended while Senegalese striker Boulaye Dia (4 goals in SA) remains sidelined after refusing to come into play earlier in the season.

The veteran Candreva (6 goals and 6 assists in SA) is the main offensive asset of Salernitana which has the 19th attack and the worst defense in the championship.
