Salernitana and Bologna are set to collide in the 27th week of the Serie A at Stadio Arechi, Salerno. The match between these two teams will be held on Sunday, March 19th, 2023 at 12:00 AM (UTC+7). Currently, Salernitana sits at the 16th position in the Serie A standings with 26 points from 26 matches. I Granata is only two points above Spezia, who is near the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Bologna is at the 9th position in the standings with 36 points from 26 matches. The point collection of I Rossoblu is the same as Sassuolo who currently occupies the 10th position in the standings.
