Salernitana & Torino meet on Match-day 31

Serie A action on Saturday as Salernitana and Torino meet at Stadio Arechi – 8:45pm GMT.

Currently sitting in eleventh place, Torino will travel to Salernitana, who are nine places lower in the League and sit in twentieth place.

Salernitana require a positive result, as Torino go to Stadio Arechi

The warning signs are there for Davide Nicola going into this game, following a loss to Juventus in their last game and a draw against Sassuolo before that. Only a positive result will be good enough.

Also, Salernitana’s success this season will ultimately depend on their ability to break the habit of not winning, as granate failed to secure a win in 17 of their last 18 fixtures. With 16 points, they currently sit twentieth in the League. The breakdown for the team’s record is 3 wins, 18 losses and 7 draws having won three meetings, drawn seven matches, and lost 18 games.

Playing at home, Salernitana have won one game, drawn five fixtures, and lost eight fixtures.

Salernitana will have 19 points if they manage to secure a victory.

It is likely that six key players will miss Saturday’s fixture, which is something of a concern for Davide Nicola and his Salernitana team.

Torino have 35 points to their name, going into this tie

Torino need a positive result from this game, if they are to move their season forward. Their last match resulted in a loss to Genoa, before that they drew away to Internazionale, 1-1.

Also, draw, lose, repeat, it’s a recurring pattern for Torino this season, as The Bull have failed to secure a win now in eight fixtures. With an eleventh position in the league and 9 wins, 12 losses and 8 draws, they currently have 35 points in the League having won nine games, drawn eight meetings, and lost 12 matches.

With a poor record on the road, which amounts to two wins, four draws, and eight defeats, it is hard to predict a positive outcome for Torino as they travel once more.

A win in this fixture, would take Torino’s points from 35 to 38, so far this season.

Torino’s ever growing list of players missing due to injury or illness to be a concern for Ivan Juric, ahead of this Saturday’s fixture against their opponents.

Salernitana v Torino – Head-to-Head.
