Following Jose Mourinho’s departure, the De Rossi era started with a 2-1 victory over Verona on Jan. 20. Stephan El Shaarawy had two assists, and Romelu Lukaku and Lorenzo Pellegrini provided the goals.
Roma dominated the contest against Verona, with De Rossi’s men enjoying 62 percent of the possession, but there wasn’t a lot of fluidity in the play, and the goals turned out to be the team’s lone efforts on target. It’s all about results for Roma at this stage of the season, but good performances would lift the team’s confidence.
Meeting the bottom side of the league gives Roma a good opportunity to gain some momentum. Salernitana has lost 13 of its 21 league outings this season and owns the worst defensive record among all 20 Serie A teams, with 42 goals conceded.
Lukaku ended a three-game goal drought against Verona and could have a field day on Monday. Salernitana hasn’t conceded multiple times in only six Serie A matches in 2023-24.
Roma has already had one multi-goal performance against Salernitana this season, as the two sides played out a 2-2 draw in Rome on the opening weekend. Both Andrea Belotti and Antonio Candreva had a brace, with the former saving a point for Roma with an 82nd-minute strike.
It was the second consecutive 2-2 draw between the teams following Roma’s three-game winning streak in the match-up. The side from the capital could now go without a win in a single season for the first time against Salernitana. Winning at the Arechi can be very difficult at times for the visiting sides, as Juventus recently learned – only a stoppage-time goal from Dusan Vlahovic gave the Old Lady the three points.
Salernitana finds itself in big trouble, but Candreva’s form gives Filippo Inzaghi hope that his team can eventually get enough goals and points to make up for the defensive shortcomings. The former Italy international has produced nine goal involvements in 20 league appearances this season and enters Monday’s clash with a run of three goals and three assists in nine outings.
