Sampdoria form and stats

There's been little loot from Sampdoria's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 10 away games in the Serie A. Sampdoria only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. It's looking increasingly bleak for Sampdoria who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Sassuolo was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Sampdoria are looking to quickly end their 422 minutes long goal drought in the Serie A.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Sampdoria, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Atalanta (placed 4th). Midfield player Winks was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.15/10. Winks hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 51 successful passes (of 63 total).

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Udinese.

Lacking goals? 10 of this side's most recent 12 league rounds have contained zero, one or two goals.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sampdoria as they have only managed to score 6 times from 10 away games in the league. As for defending, Sampdoria rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 18 goals from these away matches.
