Sampdoria haven’t exactly had impressive attacking statistics in recent times. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 3 vs opposing sides over the course of their previous 6 outings. In those games, Sampdoria have also seen the tally of goals scored against them come to 8. We will have to find out whether or not that trend can be continued on here.

Looking at their past form shows that Sampdoria:

• haven't won against Salernitana in their previous 4 league matches.
• are undefeated in their previous 2 home league matches.

Salernitana

LLWWLW

Salernitana head into the encounter after a 2-0 Serie B win against Mantova in their most recent fixture.

Looking at their form, and Salernitana have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 7 goals in all. In defence, Salernitana have been far from perfect.

Looking at their past form shows that Salernitana:

• have not been beaten by Sampdoria when having played them away from home in the previous 2 league matches.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 13 league matches. Their travelling supporters must be so depressed.

🔮 Prediction

Salernitana have it within them to breach the defence of this Sampdoria side, but it may not quite be enough to prevent defeat.
