Sampdoria form and stats

Sampdoria have played three Serie A home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Sampdoria has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager E. Di Francesco and the players.

In their previous game, the manager E. Di Francesco led his Sampdoria to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Hellas Verona. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. Preceding that match was the home game against Inter that was lost 1-3.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Sampdoria here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). Sampdoria are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).
