The 32nd day of Serie A will be crucial for Napoli, who will face Salernitana in a match that could sanction the conquest of the third championship light blue.

The two teams will face each other at 15:00 on Saturday 29 April on the ground of the Diego Armando Maradona stadium.

Below is our pre-match analysis and the state of the injured players in Napoli – Salernitana.

State of form of Napoli

Napoli occupies the first place in Serie A with 78 points, 17 more than Lazio, second in the standings, and just 5 points away from the mathematical victory of the Scudetto.

in last 5 games, Napoli collected 2 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats, scoring 4 goals and conceding 3. Results certainly not in line with those with which the Neapolitans had accustomed us during the season.

Spalletti won't be able to count on the injured players politan, Mario Rui and Simeon.

State of form of Salernitana

Salernitana occupies the 14th position in Serie A with 33 points, 7 points more than Verona, 18th in the standings and in the relegation zone.

Over the last 5 matches, the grenades collected 1 win and 4 draws, scoring 8 goals and conceding 5. Respectable results for a team of Salernitana's calibre.

Sousa will not be able to count on the injured Crnigoj, Fazio and Maggiore.

Naples – Salernitana: which is the favorite team

During the last 5 matches between the two teams, only victories for Napoli have been counted. It must be said that two of these matches date back to 2008 and 2009, while only the other three are related to the last two Serie A seasons.

Napoli will arrive at the match against Salernitana with thegoal to bring home as many points as possible. There are just 5 left to be able to mathematically win the Scudetto. Furthermore, if Lazio does not win against Inter, a victory against Salernitana will be enough for the Neapolitans to celebrate their third tricolor.

Doing calculations now makes no sense. The only thing that will count for Spalletti is not to underestimate the opposing team, given that Napoli have already been surprised several times by the "small" players in the championship.
