Salernitana is gearing up for their match against Inter Milan in the 29th week of Serie A on Friday, April 7, 2023. The match will take place at the Arechi Stadium at 10:00 PM (UTC+7). Salernitana has drawn in their last four Serie A matches since the beginning of March. This constant draw has kept them from significantly advancing their current position in the Serie A standings. Salernitana has a total of 28 points from playing 28 times, with ten draws so far. Their last draw resulted from their opponent’s own goal in the last minute.
Salernitana last played against Spezia in a game that saw them go up 1-0 after Caldera’s own goal in the 43rd minute. But with 20 minutes left in the game, Spezia managed to level the game with Shomurodov’s goal. On the other hand, Inter Milan recently drew with Juventus in the Copa Italia match, with the game ending 1-1. Juventus was about to take the win before Romelu Lukaku’s goal balanced the game out just before the final whistle.
Despite the draw in the first leg of the Semi-finals match of Copa Italia, Inter Milan still has a chance to overturn the condition in the second leg, which will take place at their home stadium. Before this, Inter Milan has faced two consecutive losses in the Serie A against Fiorentina and Juventus. The team has not been able to secure a single victory lately. This has resulted in the team being placed fourth in the Serie A standings with 50 points from playing 28 times.
The negative results obtained by Inter Milan for some time now have kept them from closing the point gap with AC Milan and Lazio. AS Roma is just below them with the same points, and if Inter Milan can’t manage to win, it could mean losing their current fourth position in Serie A standings.
