After two games we know a little more about the qualities of Fiorentina and Sampdoria in this fresh Serie A season. Read our match preview!

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Fiorentina form and stats

The hosts won their first Serie A game here at Stadio Artemio Franchi, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Fiorentina last season were 5 wins, 8 draws and 6 losses from 19 games.

The fans are hoping that Fiorentina will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 3-4 away loss in the Serie A game against Inter (placed 8th). Before that, Fiorentina had a home game versus Torino which ended with a victory 1-0.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Fiorentina matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, three draws and zero defeats (from five games).

Fiorentina has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

L L W W D

Sampdoria form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Serie A ended in defeat. Last season Sampdoria had these away match statistics: Played 19; won 6, drew 2 and lost 11.

Sampdoria might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Benevento proved too strong as Sampdoria slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. Prior to that match, the Sampdoria manager C. Ranieri faced defeat when travelling to Juventus and losing 0-3.

A huge disappointment for Sampdoria in their last match (vs Benevento). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Sampdoria playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and two home wins.

0 goals so far away for Sampdoria, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - five - two (Fiorentina wins - draws - Sampdoria wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
