When playing at home in the Serie A, Sampdoria have managed 1 win, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 5 games. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Sampdoria, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Happy days for Sampdoria in their previous game, a Serie A match away at Hellas Verona (placed 7th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Napoli.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Sampdoria have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won four times, drawn one and lost two.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Sassuolo in only four days. This game is also played here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.

The Sampdoria fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 8 goals in 5 league matches.

Crotone form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Crotone, who have the fewest scored goals (10) in Serie A, so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-4 (win-draw-lose).

Crotone has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Udinese for a Serie A game that ended a draw (0-0). Prior to that match, a home win 4-1 against Spezia.

Goalkeeper Alex Cordaz made a total of six saves, making him a hero against Udinese. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes.

We have checked recent matches where Crotone have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eleven games were three victories, two draws and six defeats.

After this away game Crotone return home for a Serie A game against Parma. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Crotone as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. For Crotone, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
