The hosts are currently 9th in the table on 28 points while the visitors are bottom on 12 points.
Napoli come into the game on the back of a disappointing 3-0 defeat at Torino in Serie A.
Torino opened the scoring shortly before the interval and doubled their advantage 7 minutes into the second half as Napoli were reduced to ten men. Torino scored their third goal in the 66th minute to compound Napoli’s misery.
The loss at Torino means Napoli have failed to win any of their 4 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
There have been defeats against Roma away in Serie A and Frosinone at home in the Coppa Italia, the latter of which was a shock 4-0 loss.
Napoli did pick up a point at home thanks to a 0-0 draw with Monza in Serie A.
Trends show Napoli have won just 1 of their 6 most recent Serie A clashes.
They have failed to score a goal in their last 3 league games and have won only 1 of their last 6 Serie A matches on home soil.
Salernitana travel to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona having lost 2-1 at home against Juventus in Serie A last time out.
It was Salernitana who opened the scoring in the 39th minute but the game changed in the second half when they had a player sent off. Juventus took full advantage and scored goals in the 65th and 91st minute to claim the victory.
The defeat to Juventus means Salernitana have won only 1 of their 7 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
The win came over Verona away in Serie A but there have been defeats against Fiorentina and Atalanta away plus Bologna at home in Serie A.
Salernitana also lost 6-1 at Juventus in the Coppa Italia but did pick up a point at home in Serie A against AC Milan.
Trends show Salernitana have won just 2 of their last 20 matches in Serie A.
They have recoded just a single victory from their 18 most recent away league games and have failed to score a goal in 6 of their last 10 Serie A fixtures on the road.
Team news: Napoli are without Victor Osimhen and Andre Zambo Anguissa as both players are on international duty. Pasquale Mazzocchi is suspended while Alex Meret, Natan Souza, and Mathías Olivera are injured.
Salernitana also have two players on international duty, with Lassana Coulibaly and Jovane Cabral unavailable. Giulio Maggiore is suspended while Lorenzo Pirola, Grigoris Kastanos, and Boulaye Dia are injured.
Napoli have been very inconsistent this season and need to get back to winning ways quickly to avoid an embarrassing defence of their title. Salernitana won their last away league match but their overall record on the road is poor.
This could be a home win, with Napoli keeping a clean sheet on their way to 3 points.
