Sampdoria vs Salernitana Predictions
- Sampdoria are winless in their last nine games, losing seven and failing to score on seven occasions.
- Samp are yet to win at home all season in Serie A, losing nine of their 12 games on their own turf.
- Salernitana hammered Sampdoria 4-0 in August’s return fixture between the sides.
Samp face crucial Salernitana test
Having seen players’ wages go unpaid and a pig’s head left outside their club headquarters, as well as posting the worst attacking record in Europe’s top five leagues, Sampdoria supporters could be forgiven for thinking their season couldn’t get any worse. However, Cremonese’s first Serie A win of the season – against Roma on Tuesday – saw them slump to the bottom of the division, and Sunday’s meeting with Salernitana is vital if they are to retain any slim hopes of escaping relegation.
Dejan Stankovic’s side have gone nine games without winning since a 2-1 victory at Sassuolo in early January, losing seven times during that win. Even more concerningly for the hosts, they have failed to score in seven of their last nine contests, as well as in seven of their last eight at home in Serie A. Samp are yet to win a single game at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Serie A this term, losing nine of 12 on their own turf and scoring just three goals.
Salernitana appeared to be candidates to be drawn into the relegation battle, but Sunday’s surprise 3-0 thrashing of Monza gave Paulo Sousa’s men breathing space. That result was the first indication of Sousa’s impact, after Salernitana were comfortably beaten by Lazio in his first game at the helm, but the former Fiorentina boss looks to have the experience to drag them away from trouble. Salernitana beat Sampdoria 4-0 in August’s return fixture, and will fancy their chances of a double.
Hosts’ woes set to deepen
Given Sampdoria’s dreadful run at home and the encouraging signs shown by Salernitana in their win over Monza, backing the visitors for victory at a very generous price looks prudent.
Meanwhile, Sampdoria’s impotent attack can be kept quiet once more, with a 2-0 Salernitana win representing a solid correct score prediction.
