Sampdoria vs Sassuolo tips and predictions

Opportunity for Sampdoria

Some of the data suggests that Sassuolo might be vulnerable at the back. If there are any holes in their defence they could be exploited here. Common sense suggests that when these sides meet they are bound to produce some goals.

They're a quality outfit but the visiting team is definitely being overestimated. The home win isn't a bad bet.

Sampdoria will take encouragement from some of Sassuolo's reverses in their recent results. The visitors have lost 4 away matches on the spin. That doesn't look like the recent record of a side that deserve to be as short as this.

Sampdoria need to get all thoughts of defeat out of their mind. This home squad is enjoying some form at their own ground. They scored at least once in 4 of their recent 5 home matches. So there is definitely plenty of justifications for the home side getting the job done.

Away from home Sassuolo have conceded two or more goals in all of their last 5 matches. And the home side will be looking for evidence that they aren't necessarily facing annihilation. In front of goal I Neroverdi have sometimes been poor. They've scored one or less goals in 8 of their last 10 matches.

You'll know who has the advantage from their previous meetings. Sampdoria have won 2 of the last 3 fixtures between the two teams.

It's felt that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Sassuolo. This preview is all about value though and with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that seems the better option on this occasion.
