Salernitana vs Napoli Prediction: Will the Pomegranates be able to rehabilitate themselves?

Salernitana beat Atalanta 2:8 and will now play Napoli at home. Will the Pomegranates be able to rehabilitate themselves for this failure in the game with the championship leader?

After a crushing 2:8 loss to Atalanta in the previous round, Salernitana head coach Davide Nicola was fired. But two days after his dismissal, Nicola was called by the club president and returned him to the same position. In his own words, the coach will have to regain the trust of the management. Let's see if Nikola can do it. The Pomegranate side is 16th in the table in the domestic championship and nine points ahead of the relegation zone.

Napoli did it all by themselves if Salernitana was beaten on the last matchday. Not to anyone, but to their eternal rival - Juventus from Turin. Napoli, who played on home soil, won 5:1 - Victor Osimen scored a double, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia recorded a goal and two assists. They have confirmed their championship ambitions and can now indisputably be named the leading contender for the Scudetto this year.

After defeating Juventus, the Neapolitans played their Italian Cup round of 16 in the middle of the week - against Cremonese. Surprisingly, Napoli could not defeat a modest opponent, lost in the penalty shootout 2:3 (2:2), and left the tournament. However, perhaps for Napoli, it was for the best. They have closed their third front with the league title and UEFA Champions League playoffs.

Napoli is critical in the upcoming match. The Neapolitans probably want to rehabilitate themselves for the bad game against Cremonese and the departure from the Italian Cup on Tuesday. Salernitana is broken and is unlikely to solve the problems they have in defense overnight. Most likely, Napoli will win Salerno and do it in a productive match, again considering the opponent's difficulties in defense.
