Sampdoria have struggled with their forward play in more recent games. Their goals record equals just 4 against opposition teams over their previous 6 matches. In those meetings, Sampdoria have also seen the number of goals scored against them come to 9.

Coming into this clash, Sampdoria have left without a victory over Cremonese in their last 4 league matches.

Cremonese

Cremonese head into the encounter after a 4-2 Serie B win to defeat Mantova in their most recent outing.

In that game, Cremonese had 47% possession and 17 shots on goal with 9 of them on target. For Cremonese, the goals were scored by Dennis Johnsen (25'), Manuel De Luca (47', 73') and Michele Collocolo (53'). On the other side, Mantova got 11 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Alex Redolfi (4') and Fabrizio Brignani (77') scored for Mantova.

Cremonese have seen success in front of goal leading up to this encounter, having scored 16 times in their last 6 matches. While their manager Giovanni Stroppa will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Cremonese have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 5 of those same games. We will just have to see whether or not that trend will end up being continued on here.

Analysis of their past results shows that Cremonese:

• remain undefeated by Sampdoria when having played them away from home in the previous 2 matches in the league.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 4 league matches away from home.

✨ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Sampdoria may well find it hard to score against this Cremonese outfit who should end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

That’s why we have predicted a very competitive game with a 0-1 victory for Cremonese at the end of the match.

Hoping for a good game.
