📊 Form Guide

Sampdoria

LDWLWL

Sampdoria will be looking for an improved result here after the 3-0 Serie A defeat last time out to Inter Milan.

In that game, Sampdoria had 42% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target. At the other end, Inter Milan got 27 attempts at goal with 12 on target. Ivan Perišić (49') and Joaquín Correa (55', 57') scored for Inter Milan.

It has been seldom in recent games that Sampdoria have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Sampdoria have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 9 goals in the process.

Reggina

LLWDLL

After a loss in their previous game against Brescia in Serie B action, Reggina and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Reggina managed 47% possession and 3 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. At the other end, Brescia got 29 shots on goal with 9 on target. Tom van de Looi (33'), Matteo Tramoni (47') and Andrea Cistana (88') scored for Brescia.

The trend of at least one team drawing a blank in games involving Reggina has become evident recently. A glance at their last six games reveals that it has happened 5 times. In those clashes, opposing sides have hit a goal total of 12 and Reggina have scored 2. That trend might not follow through here, though.

👥 Head to head

An examination of their past head-to-head meetings going back to 01/12/2007 shows that Sampdoria have won 4 of these and Reggina 1, with the tally of drawn results being 1.

A combined sum of 15 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 13 for i Blucerchiati and 2 netted by Gli Amaranto. That is an average goals per game value of 2.5.

The previous league game between these clubs was Serie B match day 39 on 06/05/2012 when it ended Sampdoria 3-1 Reggina.

The match was refereed by Gennaro Palazzino.

🗞️ Team News: Sampdoria

Ronaldo Vieira (Distortion of the ankle), Simone Trimboli (Collarbone fracture) and Manolo Gabbiadini (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) are not available for Sampdoria gaffer Marco Giampaolo.

📰 Team News: Reggina

In an otherwise healthy group, there is only the lone fitness issue for the Reggina boss Filippo Inzaghi to be concerned about. Andrey Galabinov (Achilles tendon problems) won’t be in action.

⚡ Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Sampdoria will most probably be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

In contrast, Reggina won’t find it easy to get shooting opportunities although we do think that they will probably end up hitting back at some stage here.

We’re therefore expecting to see a fairly comfortable 3-1 victory for Sampdoria at full-time.
