Salernitana is currently the weakest team in this Serie A season. They have won only 2 matches and gathered a total of 13 points, sitting at the bottom of the table. However, there is still a chance for salvation, as the gap from the 17th place, which ensures safety, is only 5 points. To improve their position, Salernitana signed 9 new players during the winter, including 7 on loan, and the legendary Jerome Boateng joined as a free agent. In the previous round, Filippo Inzaghi’s team played a 0-0 draw against Torino.
Empoli, with 18 points, is just above Salernitana in 19th place. Losing in this match is not an option for the “azzurri.” Empoli’s results significantly improved when Davide Nicola took over as the head coach instead of Aurelio Andreazzoli. In the last 3 matches, Empoli collected 5 points: a victory over Monza (3-0), as well as draws against Juventus (1-1) and Genoa (0-0).
