Salernitana take on the visitors AS Roma in the round 22 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, January 29th at Stadio Arechi (Salerno).
Salernitana made their Serie A debut at the end of the last century. Then they were forgotten for two decades. Moreover, it seemed that their new ascent in Serie A would be very short-lived. But a desperate underdog called on Davide Nicola to save them - and he succeeded, not for the first time in his unique biography. As often happened, he then didn't stay for the full following season. But his replacement, Paulo Sousa, and his charges improved, ultimately climbing to 15th place, repeating the record from the late 90s. However, after the summer break, nothing worked out, and the Portuguese quickly left his post. This time, they bet on Filippo Inzaghi, although he hasn't had much success in Serie A as a coach. Pippo didn't improve in the new project, and his team ended up at the bottom of the table. Genoa also lost, although they scored first in the second minute.

Roma are currently playing under the guidance of its legend. The Giallorossi are still perceived by inertia as one of the giants of Italian football. However, they haven't been able to finish even in the top four for a long time and consequently miss out on the Champions League. In Rome, they believed that this goal would be achieved under Mourinho's leadership. The coach himself clearly planned to restore his reputation by returning to Italy, where he shone with Inter. However, the Portuguese coach only managed to win the Conference League. Moreover, the results in Serie A last season were worse than in 2021/2022. Attempts to rehabilitate themselves through the Europa League ended in defeat in the final against Sevilla. This season, the Wolves have been inconsistent, with feverish performances. After losing the cup derby to Lazio and a 1-3 defeat to Milan in Serie A, Mourinho left. He was replaced, until the summer, by De Rossi, a legend as a player (459 matches only in Serie A from 2002 to 2019), but as a coach, he is just starting out. He was an assistant coach for the national team in 2021, precisely during the triumphant Euros. Last season, he spent three months without much success at SPAL. Now Daniele debuted with a victory, but the final 2-1 at home against the survival fighter - Verona - shouldn't be overestimated.
Overall, most of the matches ended in victories for the Wolves. But in 2023, both times the matches ended in exciting draws - 2-2. The capital giant is noticeably stronger, and parting with Mourinho has been an impetus. Let's bet on the visitors from Rome with a handicap of -1.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: AS Roma to win with -1.0 handicap.
