Salernitana - Catania FC

Iervolino weighs fresh talks with Salernitana players

Salernitana owner Danilo Iervolino is reportedly weighing another direct meeting with the players, either by visiting the squad or by speaking to them over a video call. The reason given is that the team's 15 points from 13 matches are below expectations. The squad is due to begin its pre-match retreat tomorrow evening ahead of the game against Catania.

Iervolino's possible meeting with the players comes with Salernitana 14th in the 20-team table, with three wins, six draws and four defeats. They are at home to Catania FC in the Italian Serie C, where their home record reads three wins, three draws and one defeat. They have not won any of their last five matches, drawing three and losing two. Catania are third with 22 points from 13 matches.

Salernitana without a win in 5

Salernitana now have a winless run covering 5 matches. Winners on 3 occasions from the last 5, Catania FC have commanded the meetings between the two sides.

Between them, Antonino La Gumina and Facundo Lescano give Salernitana a potent pairing, Antonino La Gumina on 4 goals and Facundo Lescano on 3. Theirs is a modest standing, with the hosts 14 of 20 in the lower third.

Alongside 5 goals, Emanuele Cicerelli has found time to supply 4 assists for Catania FC. Third on 22 points, the visitors hold a strong league position.
