An important victory, achieved against Cagliari, reaffirmed the Veneto side’s good run at the moment: Verona remains unbeaten in their last 3 league home games (1W, 2D) and the last time they achieved a longer run of home games in Serie A TIM without a defeat was between January and February 2023 (4). Now they will want another 3 points to move away from the lower reaches of the standings.
The Campani are also in need of 3 points, sitting at the bottom of the table with a 5-point gap to Hellas Verona: Salernitana has only won 1 game so far this season; the last squad to avoid relegation after having so few successes in the first 17 games of a Serie A season in the era of 3 points for a win was Bologna in 1978/79.
