Salernitana-Udinese is a match of the second day of Serie A and is played on Monday at 6:30pm: lineups, predictions, TV and streaming.
Salernitana’s preseason had been marked by Paulo Sousa’s complaints against the club because of a market that did not live up to his expectations, which is why few imagined that the granata would emerge undefeated from a complicated away match like the one at the Olimpico against Jose Mourinho’s Roma.
And instead, thanks to a brace from the “old man” Candreva, the Campani made the two goals of the rediscovered Belotti in vain and returned with a precious point from the Capital. Thus, a start that bodes well, in perfect continuity with the second part of last season, with Salernitana unbeaten for more than 10 consecutive games and saved with enormous advance compared to the previous year, when instead they kept the category almost by a miracle. The excellent work of the Portuguese coach is there for all to see: last year Sousa took over a team in great difficulty but was able to enhance its strengths in a short time, and the results also came through proactive and courageous play. In the season opener at the Arechi, the granata host Udinese, beaten decisively in the opener by Juventus (0-3) and apparently weakened by a market that in recent hours has also taken away its starting striker, Beto, now heading for Liverpool (Everton side). While waiting to see whether or not Samardzic will stay – for now he is available but watch out for Premier League sirens – Andrea Sottil is tasked with blossoming new talent, aiming to achieve salvation as soon as possible.
Salernitana-Udinese: the latest lineup news
Sousa, without Daniliuc and Maggiore, is expected to confirm more or less the lineup that imposed a draw on Roma a week ago. The big news is the titularity of Dia, who started on the bench in the capital as he was not at his best. Behind him Candreva and Kastanos, with Botheim ready to relieve the Senegalese. On the left lane Bradaric appears to have a slight advantage over Sambia.
On the other side, Sottil will have to dust off Success in attack: it will be the Nigerian who will take the place of the departing Beto and flank Thauvin. In midfield there is Samardzic, on the flanks space for Ebosele and Zemura. The defense will consist of Perez, Bijol and Kabasele.
The prediction
Salernitana hasn’t lost in front of its own public for 8 games and, against a Udinese that appeared to be struggling in the opener and just lost its most prolific striker, the granata – undefeated last year with the Friulians, both in the first leg and in the return leg – should get their first success of the season in their league.
The probable lineups of Salernitana-Udinese
- SALERNITANA (3-4-2-1): Ochoa; Gyomber, Lovato, Pirola; Mazzocchi, L. Coulibaly, Bohinen, Bradaric; Candreva, Kastanos; Dia.
- UDINESE (3-5-2): Silvestri; Kabasele, Bijol, Perez; Ebosele, Samardzic, Walace, Lovric, Zemura; Thauvin, Success.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-0
