Salernitana is hosting Inter at Stadio Arechi in round 18 of the Italian Serie A. Salernitana is in the last place in the table, they have only 8 points, and they have scored only 11 goals so far this season. Inter is at the top of the table right now with 40 points, they are winning games for fun, and they have also been scoring a lot of goals.

There isn’t much to say about this Salernitana team, except that they are on a 4-game losing streak, and that they haven’t won any of their last 8 games. During this 4-game losing streak, Salernitana hasn’t scored a single goal, while they conceded 9 goals. Bonazzoli is the leading goalscorer for Salernitana with 3 goals and has been their best player so far this season. Theoretically, Salernitana can still avoid relegation, but only if they start scoring more goals, and with that, more positive results will come, which means more points for Salernitana. We know what has to change, but if it will change, that’s another question, and I’m trying to give a positive answer, but I don’t think Salernitana has what it takes.

Inter is on a 4-game winning streak in Serie A, and thanks to that and some favorable results from other games, Inter has taken over the top of the table. In their last game, Inter was playing against Cagliari at home, and they were dominant in every aspect of that game, they have scored 4 goals, and they have won that game 4-0. Inter is also the best goalscoring team in Serie A with 43 scored goals, and Lautaro Martinez is now their leading goalscorer with 10 goals. Dzeko has added 7 goals, while Barella has 7 assists. Inter has a very favorable schedule right now because Milan and Napoli are playing against each other, which could mean they will leave one of them at least 4-5 points behind. Inter is a complete team, which is thought will not be the case after they sold Lukaku, but here they are again scoring a ton of goals, playing well defensively, and winning games.

It’s been a long time since these two teams met, but Salernitana has only 1 win at home this season, while Inter has lost only 1 game on the road. I think this will be a pretty one-sided game, and I see Inter completely dominating and winning.
