Salernitana will be searching for their first top-flight points on Wednesday evening when they host Verona in the fifth round of the Serie A.

Salernitana continued their slump in form on Saturday when they expectedly fell 0-1 at home to Atalanta.

It was the fourth defeat in as many games this season for the team led by Fabrizio Castori. On the bright side, Salernitana did offer a solid defensive showing against one of the deadliest attacking lines in Italy, conceding just once on the occasion.

However, Salernitana still boast both the worst attacking and the worst defensive records in the division.

They have failed to find the back of the net in any of the last three defeats. Their only goals of the season came in a 3-2 away loss at Bologna on the opening day.

Not even one of the best scorers in the previous term of the Serie A, Simi Nwankwo, is much of a help. The Nigerian forward is yet to bag his maiden goal in Salernitana’s shirt.

Verona had a similar destiny at the start of the 2021/22 Serie A season. However, the team’s board decided to react after losing each of the opening three games.

They replaced manager Eusebio Di Francesco with Igor Tudor who managed to bring a positive shock and guide Verona to a huge 3-2 comeback victory over Roma (who previously had a perfect record in the opening three matches) on Sunday.

萨勒尼塔纳将在周三晚上的意甲第五轮对阵维罗纳的比赛中寻找他们的首个顶级积分。

萨勒尼塔纳延续了他们在周六的颓势，他们在主场0:1输给亚特兰大。

这是法布里齐奥·卡斯托里执教的球队本赛季第4场失利。好的一面是，萨勒尼塔纳在意大利最致命的进攻线之一面前展现了坚实的防守，只失球一次。

然而，萨勒尼塔纳仍然拥有联赛中最差的进攻和防守记录。

在过去的三场失利中，他们没有一场能破网得分。他们本赛季唯一的进球是在揭幕战客场3-2负于博洛尼亚的比赛中。

即使是上个赛季意甲最佳射手之一的西米·恩万科沃也帮不上什么忙。尼日利亚前锋还没有完成他在萨勒尼塔纳球衣上的首粒进球。

维罗纳在21/22赛季初也有类似的命运。然而，在前三场比赛都输掉后，球队董事会决定做出反应。

他们用伊戈尔·图多尔替换了主教练尤西比奥·迪·弗朗西斯科，图多尔在周日的比赛中给维罗纳带来了一个积极的冲击，并带领维罗纳3比2大胜罗马(此前罗马在前三场比赛中都保持着完美的记录)。
