Alanyaspor vs Salernitana Top Odds and Predictions
There are quite a few friendly duels between Turkish and Italian clubs these days, and this is another one that holds interest.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
These are teams that don’t have much strength in the defense department, and with their goalscoring not on a high level as well, it will be important to get some in this training match.
Over 2.5 Goals
Both teams played against Fenerbahce recently in friendly matches, and both lost convincingly. Alanyaspor is a top six ‘over’ team in Turkey while Salernitana does it more often in Italy, they are in the top three when it comes to games with more than two goals scored.
Alanyaspor to Win
The game will be played in Alanya, so a little advantage goes to the home team, especially as Salernitana has just recently started their training period.
Alanyaspor vs Salernitana Preview: Are wins in friendlies important?
Alanyaspor
When we look at the Super Lig rankings, Alanyaspor looks solid. They are ninth in the league. However, that information is a bit misleading because they are only four points away from the relegation zone. The danger for the team from Alanya is real, and with only four wins this season, they have a lot of work to do before the season restarts in less than two weeks. They do score goals, on the other hand, and that is a positive sign for a team that doesn’t have a big budget to spend on big-time players, especially strikers. They score goals in diverse ways, four players have scored three goals, and those goals come from different positions on the field. The issue is their defense, they concede more goals than they score which is alarming, and with the 4-2 loss recently against Fenerbahce in their first friendly match, things are not much better in that department at the moment.
Salernitana
Position-wise on the league table, Salernitana looks similar to their opponent. They are slightly worse at the 12th spot, however, they have enough of an advantage from the bottom three sides, or the relegation candidates to have some piece of mind when the season restarts. It’s a strange season in Serie A where some teams are bad on a historic level. Cremonese hasn’t won a game in 15 matches, while Sampdoria and Verona have only one. Salernitana does have four wins, but they also have five draw games which gave them a ten points cushion in front of the bottom sides. It’s interesting to notice that they have the same goal difference as Alanyaspor at 19-24. Boulaye Dia is their top striker with six goals. Salernitana has some injury issues at this point with Matteo Lovato, Norbert Gyomber, and Pasquale Mazzocchi currently out of practice.
