Sampdoria form and stats

2 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Sampdoria have to build on here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in the Serie A.

A nice win for Sampdoria last time playing, versus Crotone. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with Jakub Jankto, Fabio Quagliarella and Mikkel Damsgaard scoring for the victors. A strong away win before that one, visiting Hellas Verona and winning 2-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Sampdoria have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won three, drawn one and lost three.

A decent goal production from Sampdoria in their home games so far, with 11 goals from 6 league matches. Sampdoria have conceded 9 from these games.

Sassuolo have an excellent away record in the Serie A so far with 4-2-0 from 6 games. Visiting Sassuolo has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Sassuolo in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Sassuolo, four draws and zero defeats.
