&lt;p&gt;After analysing the situation of the bottom four four sides in Serie A TIM, it’s now time to take a closer look at &lt;strong&gt;Salernitana&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Lecce&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Empoli&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Monza&lt;/strong&gt;, all of whom are determined to experience a quiet end to the campaign.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While &lt;strong&gt;Cremonese&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Sampdoria&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Hellas Verona&lt;/strong&gt; are ready to give it their all to chase down Spezia, the teams above the Ligurian side are intent on maintaining the cushion they’ve established.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salernitana&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Lecce&lt;/strong&gt; sit three points above Spezia and hold an eight-point advantage over third-bottom Verona. The Granata are in a better position than they were at the same stage last season, when they needed a brilliant run of results to avoid the drop.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;hm-image-wys&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://img.legaseriea.it/vimages/641c555c/20776633_large (1).jpg&#34; alt=&#34;20776633_large (1).jpg&#34; style=&#34;display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-bottom: 16px; max-width: 100%; width: auto; pointer-events: none;&#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Candreva and Co. have been lifted by the arrival of &lt;strong&gt;Paulo Sousa&lt;/strong&gt;, who, after an initial defeat to Lazio, has led the team to a win over Monza and three draws against Sampdoria, AC Milan and Bologna. It means that Salernitana are now undefeated in four, something which hasn’t happened since their five-game unbeaten run under &lt;strong&gt;Davide Nicola&lt;/strong&gt; at the start of the campaign. When they return to action, the Granata have got a vital game against &lt;strong&gt;Spezia&lt;/strong&gt; at the Picco, which provides them with a chance to put real daylight between themselves and those at the bottom of the table heading into their matches against Inter at home and Torino away.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While Salernitana were fighting to retain their Serie A TIM status last year, &lt;strong&gt;Lecce&lt;/strong&gt; were on their way to becoming Serie B champions. &lt;strong&gt;Baroni’s&lt;/strong&gt; side are struggling a bit right now and have dropped down the table after four defeats in a row to Sassuolo, Inter, Torino and Fiorentina, but they can use the international break to regroup, aware that they are still comfortably clear of the relegation zone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;hm-image-wys&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://img.legaseriea.it/vimages/641c5586/20686565_large.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;20686565_large.jpg&#34; style=&#34;display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-bottom: 16px; max-width: 100%; width: auto; pointer-events: none;&#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Their aim is get back to scoring ways after four successive matches without a goal, with their vital match against Empoli at 18:30 CEST on Monday 3 April being their first opportunity to put things right. Then Lecce v Napoli and Lecce v Sampdoria await.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;hm-image-wys&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://img.legaseriea.it/vimages/641c55e7/20661374_large.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;20661374_large.jpg&#34; style=&#34;display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-bottom: 16px; max-width: 100%; width: auto; pointer-events: none;&#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As for Empoli, they have one more point than Salernitana and Lecce but are also on a poor run after four consecutive losses against Atalanta, Udinese, Monza and Napoli. &lt;strong&gt;Paolo Zanetti’s &lt;/strong&gt;men haven’t won since their victory over Inter at San Siro on 23 January, but, at the moment, they can rest easy. This is mainly due to the fact that they lost just one of their first eight matches at the start of the year before their struggles began. Their showdown against Lecce at the Castellani will be very important because they’ll then have to play AC Milan and Cremonese away and Inter at home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&#34;hm-image-wys&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://img.legaseriea.it/vimages/641c5618/20715104_large.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;20715104_large.jpg&#34; style=&#34;display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-bottom: 16px; max-width: 100%; width: auto; pointer-events: none;&#34;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In an even more confortable position are &lt;strong&gt;Monza&lt;/strong&gt;, one of the revelations of the season with 34 points to their name. If they hadn’t made such a slow start (one point from their first six games), they would probably be challenging for Europe, but, given that it’s the club’s first-ever season in Serie A TIM, a tough settling-in period was perhaps to be expected.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
