The reverse fixture between these two sides in August last year ended 1-0 in favour of Roma thanks to Bryan Cristante's lone goal in the first-half.
Roma will host Salernitana in a Serie A fixture at Stadio Olimpico on Monday. The hosts are heading into the match on the back of booking their place in the final of the Europa League courtesy of overcoming Bayer Leverkusen in the two-legged semi-final tie, while Granata secured a narrow 1-0 league-win over Atalanta last Saturday. As of now, Roma are occupying seventh spot in the Italian top flight standings, having collected 59 points from 35 games, six adrift of fourth-placed Inter Milan, who have played a game more. The visitors, meanwhile are sitting at the 15th position, with 38 points to their name, eight clear of the relegation zone.

Roma reached their second successive European final on Thursday night courtesy of playing out a goalless draw against Bayer Leverkusen in the second-leg of their Europa League semi-final tie at Bay Arena. Edoardo Bove’s lone goal in the first leg in Rome proved to be the difference in the last-four tie as Jose Mourinho’s side displayed a gritty defensive masterclass in Leverkusen to hold on to their slim lead, despite the fact that Xabi Alonso’s side recorded 23 shots with six of them on target, compared to just a solitary effort by the Wolves. Between now and their trip to Budapest on May 31, Giallorossi must play out two crucial league-fixtures against Salernitana and Fiorentina. Roma are winless in their last five top flight matches, while losing three of those games. They have slipped out of the top four courtesy of their poor run of form and winning the Europa League final against Sevilla appears to be their best chance to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
Salernitana, on the other hand, have lost only one of their last 12 matches, while drawing eight games in the process. Last time out, Granata secured their eighth top-flight victory of the season against European challengers Atalanta thanks to Antonio Candreva’s lone goal three minutes into the injury time. The victory helped the Salerno side to move eight points clear of the drop zone, and 18th-placed Hellas Verona’s loss to Atalanta on Saturday sealed Salernitana’s survival in the top flight. Meanwhile, Granata have failed to win any of their last seven away-fixtures, while eight of their 14 league-draws this season have come on the road.
The reverse fixture between these two sides in August last year ended 1-0 in favour of Roma thanks to Bryan Cristante’s lone goal in the first-half. It was Giallorossi’s ninth victory against the Salerno side in 11 meetings across all competitions, while Salernitana have prevailed only once and that lone success came way back in January 1999 in the Serie A.
