Napoli is welcoming Salernitana to Estadio Diego Armando Maradona in round 23 of the Italian Serie A. Napoli is now on a 2-game winning streak in Serie A, while they haven’t lost in their last 3 Serie A games. Salernitana is the weakest team in the league, they have only 1 win in their last 11 games, and they are in serious danger of getting relegated.

Napoli is trying to keep up with Milan and Inter in Serie A, and they are succeeding at the moment. Napoli is in 3rd place with 46 points, they have scored 39 goals, but their offense has cooled off a lot since the start of the season. defensively, Napoli is still solid, they are the best defensive teams in the league, and they have conceded only 15 goals so far. The next two games are on the easier side for Napoli, but after that, they are facing Inter in Serie A, and Barcelona in the Champions League. There are still a few injuries in Napoli, but they did get Osimhen back, and Insigne is getting close to being fully recovered. Mertens is now the leading goalscorer for Napoli with 6 goals, while Osimhen, Ruiz, and Zielinski added 5 goals each. Napoli is a great team, as we can see they have a good defense, but they need to do a better job when it comes to scoring goals.

Salernitana is not doing well in Serie A this season, they are in the last place in the standings with only 10 points, and they are now 8 points away from the safe zone. Salernitana is also the weakest offensive team in the league by far with only 13 scored goals, and they are also the weakest defensive team with 49 conceded goals in 21 games. When you put their offense and defense together, you get a team that wins a game once every 2 months, the team against whom every other team looks like a champion and the team that can’t do anything in this league. Of the 13 goals Salernitana has scored, Bonazzoli has scored 3, while Ribery has added 2 assists, and yes, that Ribery who won a few Bundesliga’s and the Champions League with Bayern Munich. Salernitana has a ton of injuries and suspended players, and I’m honestly surprised they have enough players to make a team for this game.

Salernitana hasn’t won any of their last 3 games against Napoli, and they will not win this one. Napoli is in good form now, they are on the winning streak, and I see them getting a nice home win here.
