Sampdoria

LDWLLD

Sampdoria prepare for this match coming off the back of a 1-1 Serie B drawn game against Cremonese.

In that match, Sampdoria managed 58% possession and 9 shots on goal with 4 on target. The only player to score for Sampdoria was Estanis (60'). For their opponents, Cremonese got 19 attempts on goal with 11 of them on target. Charles Pickel (27') scored for Cremonese.

It has been all too rare in recent times that Sampdoria have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Sampdoria have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 9 goals on the way.

Coming into this contest, Sampdoria haven’t won at home in the past 7 matches in the league. That's never good.

Cittadella

DWWLDD

In their previous fixture, Cittadella drew 0-0 in the Serie B match with Venezia.

In that match, Cittadella managed 44% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 4 on target. At the other end, Venezia got 10 attempts at goal with 3 on target.

A series of accomplished showings by the Cittadella defenders has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 4 from their previous 6 clashes overall. Over that same time, their own attack force has managed to score 4. Such a trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, however.

Ahead of this meeting, Cittadella have not won away from home in their last 7 matches in the league.

🤜🤛 Head to head
