Sampdoria hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 26 points and a 16th position in the Serie A table. Visiting Bologna holds 11th place with 34 pts.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Serie A. That game was an away game at Roma, so at least Sampdoria are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Sampdoria form and stats
When playing at home in the Serie A, Sampdoria have managed 4 wins, 4 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 14 games.
No payout for Sampdoria in their previous match, an away game at Roma that ended in defeat 1-2. Prior to that, an away loss at Inter.
Sampdoria's goalkeeper Emil Audero was extremely busy against Roma, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning seven saves.
This is expected to be a close game, with Sampdoria perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sampdoria as a small favourite), we find seven games. Sampdoria has won three of these, drawn three and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Sampdoria as they are travelling to their away game against Lecce in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.
Sampdoria are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 14 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Sampdoria defense is not exactly impregnable. 22 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Bologna form and stats
The visitors are W5-D2-L6 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A.
The attacking players of Bologna have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes.
Bologna's previous game was their home loss versus Juventus (0-2). Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Lazio's place.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bologna playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were one Bologna win, four draws and five defeats.
A new game in only three days for Bologna, the Serie A home match versus Cagliari. Busy days.
Bologna has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 20 goals from 13 games. As for defending, Bologna rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 22 goals from these away matches.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Bologna - Sampdoria 2-1, played this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - one - five (Sampdoria wins - draws - Bologna wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
