AS Roma take on the visitors Salernitana in the round 36 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, May 22nd at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
Roma were finally able to win a trophy last season. However, it was only a victory in the inaugural Conference League, which is pleasant but still relatively minor. The main issue is that even with José Mourinho, they couldn't do enough to secure a return to the Champions League. There was some progress, but it only resulted in a 6th-place finish in the final Serie A table. Now, history seems to be repeating itself to a large extent. Once again, the wolves performed better on the international stage. They suffered defeats there too, from Ludogorets in the first group stage match to Feyenoord in the quarter-finals, but the important thing is that they managed to achieve results. Just like against Bayer, where they won 1-0 at home in an evenly matched game. Of course, that led to a challenging journey to Leverkusen. Meanwhile, in Serie A, after a brief resurgence in early April with three victories and a climb in the table, a new decline began, and it seems to be fatal. Five matches without a win (losses to Atalanta and Inter, with three draws, including one against Milan) not only pushed them down to 6th place but also created a 6-point gap behind Lazio, who occupy the fourth spot. It will be difficult to make up for that in the remaining three matchdays.

Salernitana have only appeared in Serie A once in their entire history, during the 1998/1999 season. After that, they experienced years of decline, and upon their return to Serie A in 2021, the team didn't show much. However, it wasn't only them who had poor statistics, which is why they called upon Davide. He was rightfully considered a master of truly miraculous saves for underdogs and newcomers, and he once again lived up to that reputation, preventing Salernitana from falling. However, in a less pleasant tradition, he didn't last long in his position, not even a year. After firing him for the second time (initially convincing him to return the day after his departure), the project's management believed in Paulo Sousa, an experienced specialist who had previously faced consecutive failures in Poland and especially Brazil. The Portuguese exceeded expectations, starting his tenure with 10 matches without a defeat. Although his new team mostly played draws, they managed to share points with Milan and Inter, and then repeated a 1-1 draw in Naples. As a result, Napoli had to postpone their championship celebrations. However, in the end, the club lost in May, unexpectedly against a demotivated mid-table team, Empoli. Nevertheless, they followed it up with a new victory, a 1-0 win against Atalanta.
In 1999, before their relegation, Salernitana managed to win against the capital giants. However, all the other matches, a total of four, remained in favor of the wolves. People believe in a victory for the Giallorossi this time as well. However, they are not in their best form, while the guests are peaking. Let's take a risk and bet on the sea horses with a handicap of +1.
Prediction for the match: Salernitana to win with +1.0 handicap.
