Team news & rosters
| Position | Salernitana roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Fiorillo, Antonio Russo, Alessandro Russo, De Matteis, Belec, Guerrieri |
| Defenders | Ruggeri, Jaroszynski, Veseli, Strandberg, Aya, Ranieri, Zortea, Gyomber, Kechrida, Bogdan, Gagliolo, Kalombo, Delli Carri |
| Midfielders | M. Coulibaly, Ribery, Schiavone, Di Tacchio, L. Coulibaly, Kastanos, Obi, Capezzi, Motoc |
Forwards | Bonazzoli, Djuric, Gondo, Simy, Cannavale, Vergani |
Not even the skills of captain and modern great of the game Franck Ribery have helped Salernitana towards safety this term, with the club marooned at the bottom of the top flight, still with a single-digit points haul.
They are in need of a reversal of fortune - and against another side who occupy the lower part of the table, they might be able to spark an unlikely charge for safety to see in 2022.
Predicted Salernitana starting XI: Fiorillo; Gyomber, Gagliolo, Bogdan; Delli Carri, Schiavone, Obi, Kastanos, Ranieri; Ribery, Simy.
| Position | Venezia roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Maenpaa, Lezzerini, Pigozzo, Bruno, Romero, Neri |
| Defenders | Molinaro, Mazzocchi, Modolo, Ebuehi, Schnegg, Svoboda, Caldara, Ceccaroni, Haps, Makadji |
| Midfielders | Vacca, Dezi, Tessmann, Sigurdsson, Fiordilino, Heymans, Bjarkason, Ala-Myllymaki, Kiyinem, Busio, Crnigoj, Peretz, Ampadu, Cuisance, De Vries |
| Forwards | Forte, Aramu, Henry, Johnsen, Bocalon, Zigoni, Okereke |
Venezia's return to the top flight of Italian football has been far from a straightforward walk in the park, but nor have they found themselves on the rocks - and their hopes of survival will surely grow with another victory here.
The arrival of Michael Cuisance probably comes too soon for the former Bayern Munich man to begin his new chapter, but his arrival indicates the further hope the club has of establishing themselves as a long-term Serie A presence.
Predicted Venezia starting XI: Romero; Mazzocchi, Svoboda, Ceccaroni, Haps; Ampadu, Vacca, Crnigoj; Aramu, Kiyine; Forte.
