Salernitana – Hellas Verona

Verona have a good chance of an away success

Salernitana secured a very unexpected draw in the last round. The Seahorses managed to take points away from Juventus of Turin. Pierozzi's goal on 27 minutes could well have been the only goal of the match. The Old Lady's active attempts to equalise were successful only on 90+1 minutes. Atalanta, on the other hand, were much more industrious. A round before that, the Bergamaschi managed to get a willful victory after conceding in the first half. In all these cases, only the huge difference in class was evident. Salernitana, although scoring first, played a completely different category of football (in the worst sense). The team demonstrated this relentlessly throughout the season. A total of 16 points and 28 goals scored is a fair summary of the Seahorses' 2023/2024 campaign. Verona could have solved the question of retaining their place in the last round, but it didn't work out. Hellas has picked up extremely good form towards the end of the season. Who could have guessed that the team, which before the winter break seemed to be almost a major outsider, would be able to demonstrate their character so well? It is worth recalling that the Mastiffs were on the verge of bankruptcy and lost almost half of the main squad, having to buy new players all over the world. Nevertheless, over the last ten rounds, the team got four wins and two draws. At the moment, Marco Baroni's side sit in 14th place and have the highest potential chances of staying up among those who have not yet done so. Last Sunday Verona hosted Torino. "The Mastiffs took the lead in the 67th minute, but conceded twice and missed important points. Statistics and metrics show the unfairness of such a result for Baroni's wards. In the last round, by the way, they will meet with Inter. It is obvious that in this meeting the motivation will be only one collective. Victory will finally keep Verona's place in Serie A for next season. Hellas are unlikely to want to postpone this issue to the last round, so they will get three points in this game.
