The slim hopes of the Serie A basement club could hinge on how quickly they improve as they host top-half chaser Monza. This match will be played at the Arechi Stadium in Salerno on Saturday. Ahead of this round of fixtures, the hosts are at the bottom with 13 points, while the visitors are 11th with 33 points. Salernitana are still seven points off the safety zone, so any result here can’t get them out of the bottom. Yet, a win would be a massive boost to their hopes of salvaging the season. That looks like a difficult proposition, though, in its current form, as they keep piling up losses. Salernitana have lost seven of their last eight matches in all competitions, with the remaining match ending in a draw. Even at home, they have been dire, losing five of their last six league matches while drawing the other match.

Monza are just outside the top half, and a win here could improve their chances of moving up the ladder. They are coming off a massive 4-2 win over AC Milan, where some late action got them full points. That result made it four games unbeaten for the visitors, which included two wins and draws each. They need to be consistent with their scoring, as the two draws in that sequence were goalless stalemates. Monza had no such problems in the reverse fixture; they won 3-0, and another impressive performance could give them a lift. They would need every bit of that confidence, especially on the scoring front, having failed to score in four of their last five away league games.
