In that match, Sampdoria had 27% possession and 9 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. At the other end, Cremonese got 8 attempts on goal with 2 on target.
The trend of at least one side getting a clean sheet in games involving Sampdoria has been fairly consistent of late. Checking on their last 6 meetings shows that it has occurred 5 times. In these clashes, their opponents have hit a goal total of 8 and Sampdoria have scored 3. We will have to find out if that trend will be continued on into this next match.
Going into this contest, Sampdoria are without an away win for the past 12 league matches. Very poor, indeed.
↔️ Head to head
The previous league encounter featuring these sides was Serie B match day 15 on 30/11/2024 and the score finished Sampdoria 3-3 Catanzaro.

📋 Team News: Catanzaro
It looks as if Aquile del Sud may well kick off with a 3-5-2 system this time and select Mirko Pigliacelli, Stefano Scognamillo, Matias Antonini Lui, Federico Bonini, Tommaso Cassandro, Marco Pompetti, Mamadou Coulibaly, Simone Pontisso, Giacomo Quagliata, Pietro Iemmello and Filippo Pittarello.
🗞️ Team News: Sampdoria
Sampdoria manager Alberico Evani has a number of players out of action. Davide Veroli (Broken jaw), Samuele Perisan (muscular problems), Nikolas Ioannou (Calf muscle tear), Gennaro Tutino (Broken ankle) and Simone Romagnoli (Achilles tendon surgery) can’t be considered.
We are inclined to think that i Blucerchiati seem most likely to make use of a 3-5-2 formation, choosing Alessio Cragno, Marco Curto, Alex Ferrari, Giorgio Altare, Fabio Depaoli, Leonardo Benedetti, Gerard Yepes, Ronaldo Vieira, Pietro Beruatto, Giuseppe Sibilli and M'Baye Niang.
💡 Prediction
We’re envisaging that Sampdoria will need to apply a lot of pressure to break down this Catanzaro team who we think will score at least once to put them ahead.
Therefore, we predict a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 victory for Catanzaro at the end of this one.
Let’s see how it plays out.
