Saturday, 13 January 2024
Kick-off is at 16h00
SSC Napoli will take on fellow strugglers US Salernitana in a
Serie A encounter at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on 13 January.
Current Form
The Little Donkeys succumbed to a 3-0 loss to Torino FC away on 7 January and they are now winless in their last three matches in the Italian top-flight.
However, Napoli are undefeated in their last two home matches in the league having registered one draw and one victory at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Meanwhile, Salernitana suffered a 2-1 loss to Juventus FC at home on 7 January as their two-match unbeaten run in the Serie A came to an end.
The Garnets defeated Hellas Verona in their away game in the league and the win snapped their 17-match winless run on the road.
Team News
Napoli have no suspension concerns, but the champions will be without the injured trio of Alex Meret, Natan and Leo Østigård while André-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Victor Osimhen are on national team duty.
Salernitana, on the other hand, also do not have any suspension issues, but Lorenzo Pirola, Grigoris Kastanos and Junior Sambia are all out injured while Lassana Coulibaly, Jovane and Boulaye Dia are on national team duty.
Quotes
Napoli’s sporting director Mauro Meluso remains adamant that club manager Walter Mazzarri’s job is not under scrutiny despite the team's poor form.
“Mazzarri has the complete trust of the club and the team, and there is no question about his position," Meluso said.
"However, it is evident to everyone that there has been a decline in performance compared to last year.
"We cannot ignore the current situation, and we cannot continue like this.”
Head-to-Head
Napoli claimed a 2-0 win over Salernitana in their last meeting in Serie A which was on 4 November 2023 at the Stadio Arechi.
The Little Donkeys boast of an undefeated record against the Granata in the league since Salernitana returned to the top flight in 2021 - winning three games and drawing once.
