Italian Serie A picks for Salernitana vs. Roma

Before you tune in to Sunday's match, you need to see the Italian Serie A picks from betting expert Brandt Sutton. Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine's top soccer editor for more than five years. He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups and past performances to make the most-informed decisions possible, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe. 

For Roma vs. Salernitana, Sutton is picking Under 2.5 goals for a -130 payout. Roma had one of the best defenses in Serie A last season, giving up the fourth fewest goals in league play (38). They also scored the fewest goals of any team ranked ninth or higher (50) and the expert expects that trend will continue into their 2023-24 campaign.

"Roma opened last season with a 1-0 victory over Salernitana, and I think we could see a similar scoreline on Sunday," Sutton told SportsLine. "Roma recorded a clean sheet in three of their first four league games in 2022-23, so I expect Mourinho's men will be extremely disciplined defensively in the opening match." Stream the game here.
