Lazio vs Sampdoria
Italian Serie A
Date: 27 February 2023, Monday
Kick-off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Stadio Olimpico (Rome).

Lazio host relegation strugglers Sampdoria in Gameweek No 24 on Monday evening at Stadio Olimpico.

The hosts managed to jump above Romanian champions CFR Cluj in the UEFA Europa Conference League knockout stage playoffs, beating them 1-0 on aggregate.

They made it three successive games without conceding a single goal in all competitions, including the 0-2 victory over Salernitana last Sunday in the Serie A.

It was one of the best overall performances of the season for I Biancocelesti who created numerous chances in front of Salernitana’s goal in Salerno.

Ciro Immobile made the difference with a brace on the occasion. Now that he is back and fully fit, Lazio’s talisman will represent a huge threat for the rivaling defensive lines.

We fancy Immobile to cause damage on Monday against Sampdoria who have been anything but meticulous at the back throughout the entire season.

Le Samp are in a very tough situation, sitting second from bottom in the league ladder with as many as eight points between them and Spezia in the safe zone.

The team led by Dejan Stankovic missed a huge change to pick up a three-pointer last Saturday when recent acquisition Abdelhamid Sabiri missed a penalty just before Riccardo Orsolini found Bologna’s winner in Genova.

Sampdoria are now winless in eight consecutive games across competitions and they have allowed at least two goals in three of the previous four outings in the league.

Lazio vs Sampdoria Head-to-head

• Lazio have been the dominant force in the history of this matchup at Stadio OIimpico where the claimed 19 wins, 6 draws, and 1 defeat in the last 26 meetings with Le Samp.
• I Biancocelesti will go into this on the back of three wins and a draw in the previous four clashes against Sampdoria.
• Just one of the last four head to head outings between these rivals produced three or more goals.

Lazio vs Sampdoria Prediction

Both Lazio and Sampdoria have shown exciting attacking displays in the previous round and we have reasons to expect goals when they come across each other on Monday.

Since the hosts have been dominant in H2H history and since they will enter the game in higher spirits, we will take the 2.30 odds offered for Lazio to win & Over 2.5 goals FT bet. We also like the 2.25 odds for Ciro Immobile to score anytime for the hosts.

Lazio vs Sampdoria Betting Tips
