Sampdoria hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 23 points and a 17th position in the Serie A table. Visiting Hellas Verona holds 8th place with 35 pts.
Sampdoria form and stats
Sampdoria's results here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in the Serie A have been very modest with 3 victories, 4 draws and 6 defeats. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Sampdoria, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Sampdoria's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-5 versus Fiorentina (placed 13th). In the game before, an away victory match versus Torino with a 3-1 scoreline.
As you see from the result above, Sampdoria suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
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 six games. Sampdoria has won two of these, drawn three and lost one.
The Sampdoria fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 13 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Sampdoria defense is not exactly impregnable. 21 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Hellas Verona form and stats
Playing away, Hellas Verona, who have the most clean sheets (5) away in Serie A, have won 3 games, drawn 5 and suffered 4 defeats in the Serie A this season. It's been quite a sequence of draws for Hellas Verona when traveling as their last four away games have all ended all square. Not since the SPAL match has the points been distributed unevenly.
Hellas Verona 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). Before that, Hellas Verona secured a home win against Juventus with the score 2-1.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Hellas Verona playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were three Hellas Verona wins, six draws and three defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hellas Verona as they have only managed to score 11 times from 12 away games in the league. 12 goals have been conceded by Hellas Verona in these games.
