Sampdoria form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie A this season. Sampdoria have only managed 4 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses from their games here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. When Sampdoria hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Genoa, Cagliari, Sampdoria, Venezia, Empoli and Spezia), they have won 2 of 4 matches! Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Sampdoria, their manager Giampaolo and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Stress levels are on the rise for Sampdoria's attacking players as they have now played 232 minutes without scoring in a league game. Caputo was their last goal scorer.

The fans are hoping that Sampdoria will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the game against Bologna (placed 12th). Ferrari, defender, was given a rating of 7.63/10 in that game, top of the team. Ferrari won 6 of 9 duels.

Ahead of that match, Sampdoria lost 0-1 at home to Roma.

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 four games) they have won one time, drawn two 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 23 in 16 matches. Sampdoria have conceded 29 from these games.

Salernitana form and stats

There's been little loot from Salernitana's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 15 away games in the Serie A. Salernitana only have 2 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 2 draws. Salernitana are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Hellas Verona fixture.

Salernitana lost away at Roma (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Defender Radovanović was the best team player with a rating of 7.14. Radovanović scored one goal and won 1 of 2 duels.

A loss against Torino was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Salernitana are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, six draws and five defeats. From a total of 16 matches.

The schedule is very tough for Salernitana now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie A game at Udinese is waiting in only three days.

The visitors have scored 11 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Salernitana, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

Salernitana - Sampdoria 0-2 was the end result in these squads' previous H2H game, earlier this season. As for the last two games between these two teams, there's two Sampdoria victories, zero draws and zero Salernitana wins. Over/under statistics; zero of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.
