At the other end, Spezia had 9 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Claudio Terzi (20') and M'Bala Nzola (60') scored for Spezia.

At least three goals per match were recorded in 5 of the past 6 fixtures where Sampdoria have been involved. Opposition teams scored 9 of them in this period while i Blucerchiati amassed a tally of 10.

Udinese

DDLLDL ⚠

After being beaten in their last game against SSC Napoli in Serie A competition, Udinese will be aiming to make amends here.

In that match, Udinese had 37% possession and 17 shots at goal with 8 on target. The only player to score for Udinese was Kevin Lasagna (27'). SSC Napoli got 17 shots on goal with 6 on target. Lorenzo Insigne (15') and Tiemoué Bakayoko (90') scored for SSC Napoli.

The numbers tell their own story, and Udinese have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 11 goals in all. In defence, Bianconeri Friuliani just haven’t been too solid at all. We will have to see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

Their past results show that Udinese:

• haven't beaten Sampdoria when they have played them away from home in the previous 7 league matches. Not good.
• are without a win away from home in their last 3 league matches.
