Sampdoria have had problems winning points this league season. Will the team get a victory when Catanzaro come to visit Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris?
- Sampdoria have the most dropped points from leading position (8) in Serie B
- Catanzaro have the most matches over the total-line (5) in Serie B
It's quite the trip for Catanzaro when visiting Sampdoria as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sampdoria and Catanzaro.
Sampdoria form and stats
Sampdoria have played three Serie B home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
No payout for Sampdoria in their previous match, an away game at Como that ended in defeat 0-1. Pedrola, a striker, was the declared top player for the side in that game, scoring a rating of 7.63 (out of 10). Pedrola hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 24 successful passes (of 30 total).
1-1 away at Parma before that.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 4 games) they have won 0 times, drawn 2 and lost 2.
Sampdoria have scored {2 league goals} here from 3 matches, not a lot.
Catanzaro form and stats
Things could have gone better for Catanzaro in their Serie B away matches, but 5 points from 3 games is all right.
There were no winners in Catanzaro's previous match, the home game that ended 1-1 vs Cittadella (placed 9th). The attacker Biasci got a match rating of 7.45 in that game. Biasci hit two key passes.
A 2-2 draw at Bari 1908's stadium before that.Catanzaro's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 5 goals from these trips.
