Roma vs Salernitana Prediction: Expect a low-scoring game

On 22 May 2023, Roma will face Salernitana in the 36th round of the Italian football championship at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Roma

Roma has had another very productive season under Jose Mourinho as they progress. A year earlier, Roma had not set themselves ambitious goals but managed to win the Conference League and qualify for the Europa League. Now, the Wolves face a more ambitious target - a long-awaited return to the Champions League. They could be eligible for the continent's top club competition via Serie A or the Europa League. The Red Yellows opted for the European competition, where they suffered in Leverkusen this week and won a ticket to the tournament's final. They have failed to win five games in a row in the domestic league, sitting seventh in the table.

Salernitana

This season has been a mixed experience for Salernitana, but they've met their ultimate goal and will remain in Italy's top flight next year. The team has suffered just one defeat in their last 12 encounters, in a game with Empoli 1:2. There were not many victories in this period - three, and the remaining matches ended in a draw. Salernitana is now 15th in the table, with no threat of relegation.

Expert Betting Tips

At the end of the current season, Roma has prioritized playing in the Europa League, where they have reached the final, making things worse for them in Serie A. The Romans have been without a win in five games in a row, and this series has every chance of continuing. In the upcoming match, Wolves will host the 15th team in the league, but the Pomegranates have only suffered one defeat in the last 12 meetings. As a result, we suggest betting on a Salernitana not to lose.

We should not expect a high goalscoring activity from the upcoming encounter. The team rarely plays with goals, and certainly not at the end of the season. In their last six games against Rome, only seven goals have been scored in total (1.17 per game on average). Now, it is unlikely that the Wolves will play spectacularly after their trip to Leverkusen, and Salernitana will not open up too much in a tough away game. On this basis, the best option for the prediction seems to be a total under 2.5 goals, and it is worth betting on Bulaye Dia's goal.
