Sampdoria vs Verona tips and predictions

Winner far from obvious in Serie A battle; deadlock in the mix

All eventualities are in the runnning here which is why the draw is a genuine contender. The suspicion is that this will be tight. A goalless stalemate is the pick.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. Solid on their own soil Sampdoria have conceded at an average of just 0.7 goals per game over their last 3 matches. Meanwhile Verona have been impressive defensively on the road. They have conceded an average of 0.7 goals per game over their last 3 matches away from home.

In previous matches in this head-to-head one of the last 3 has finished on level terms.

Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out over an attritional ninety minutes. In that case the BTTS No bet seems like a decent side bet.

Sampdoria have drawn 5 of their last 13 matches on their own soil, including their most recent match when they drew 0-0 with Salernitana at home last week. Verona have drawn 9 of their last 20 away matches. They shared the spoils with Monza last Sunday. The conclusion is there's nothing to like about the home or away win prices so the draw warrants consideration. A stalemate is on the cards after what could be a close encounter.
