Salernitana 1919 vs Cagliari Calcio: The opponents will take advantage of each other's weaknesses

Salernitana has won four games in five rounds and has moved into the relegation zone behind Cagliari. Will the Sardinians be able to regain their lost ground in a head-to-head encounter? Here are a few bets on one of the most important matches at the end of the Italian league season.

The Pomegranate management made the right decision by employing Davide Nicola as head coach. Arguably the best survival specialist, by the 36th round, managed to pull the team out of last place in the standings and put them out of the relegation zone. Salernitana is now 17th and one point ahead of bottom-three side Cagliari ahead of the encounter.

In the middle of the week, the team beat Venice 2:1 on home soil in a rescheduled 20th-round match. Salernitana hasn't lost in five games in a row, and the victims include underdogs Sampdoria and Venizeando Atalanta and strong sides Fiorentina and Udinese.

After Salernitana's victory over Venezia, Cagliari moved to 17th place in the relegation zone. Now, even a draw will not satisfy the Sardinians in Salerno.

The reason for the Islanders' relegation to the bottom three should be attributed to the rivals' success and the Sardinians' failure. On the previous matchday, the team lost at home to Verona 1:2, and in the last seven games, they have lost by 6. Cagliari is tired of playing in Serie A.

Salernitana has improved under Davide Nicola and has deservedly left the relegation zone. However, the Pomegranates didn't solve all their problems. For example, even on a winless run of five previous games, Salerno managed to keep their goals under control only once. Cagliari also concedes almost all the time. Both teams are likely to use each other's disadvantages to score more than once in the upcoming game.
