Salernitana’s return to Serie A after 22 years isn’t going well but they will be hoping for one big upset when they play host to champions Inter Milan on Match Day 18 of the league. They head to this game placed bottom of the Serie A standings with eight points after 17 matches while Inter are top of the table with 40 points. Salernitana have the fewest goals in the league (11) and they face the best scoring team; they’ve failed to score in four of their last five in the league. It particularly looks bad for Salernitana that they have just two wins in a run of 17 league matches, and these were against struggling Genoa and Venezia. The hosts are the only side yet to reach 10 points so far and it doesn’t seem they will address that here. In four of their last five matches, they’ve gone to half time trailing and failed to score completely. They have conceded two or more goals in the four matches and going to this, they have three straight defeats.

Inter Milan took advantage of AC Milan’s slump in the last round to go top of the Serie A standings. Going to this game, they have five straight wins in the league and are unbeaten in their last nine league matches, winning seven. They have just one loss in the league this season, against Lazio, and they are the highest scorers in the league, with 43 goals, while also sticking up as one of the best defensive sides. This will not be the best news for Salernitana, and especially the fact that Inter head to this game having managed two or more goals in the last five league matches. Inter have four straight clean sheets in Serie A action going to this game and in their last five league matches, they have led at half time. This will be the first time the two sides face off since the 1998/99 season, when either side won once in the two legs.
