Barletta vs Salernitana Prediction

Alright folks, let's get stuck into this one. We've got Barletta taking on Salernitana in a Serie C clash that's looking like a proper battle for survival. Both teams are currently stuck in the mud near the bottom of the table, both sitting on 5 points after four games of graft.

Barletta’s lot have been proper reliable at home. They’ve picked up three wins from their last three home games, which is a cracking run. They’re putting about 2.33 goals past the opposition at home, but they’ve also shown they can be a bit leaky on the road. They're looking to keep that home fortress intact, but it’s never easy when you’ve got a side like Salernitana coming at ya.

Salernitana are coming in with a bit of a swagger after putting four past Potenza in their last outing. They’ve got a bit more of a winning record overall this season, but they’re still a bit inconsistent. They’re averaging about a goal a game on the road, so we can expect them to be looking for those narrow margins.

Here’s the rub, though. When you look at the numbers, the bookies aren't offering much of a 'win' for us. The odds on the goals and the winners are just a bit too tight for comfort. With no head-to-head history to lean on and both sides being so evenly matched in the standings, it’s a bit of a toss-up. I like to see a bit more 'meat on the bone' before I’m happy to back a result. It’s a tricky one to call, so I’m going to sit this one out.

Key Points:

• Barletta have won 100% of their last 3 home games.

• Salernitana are coming off a high-scoring 4-2 win against Potenza.

• Both teams are currently tied on 5 points in the lower half of the table.

• There is no head-to-head history between these two sides.

• Goal expectancies are right on the line, making the Over/Under markets risky.
