Roma vs Sampdoria Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - March 30, 2023

Roma vs Sampdoria
Italian Serie A
Date: 2 April 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 17:00 UK / 18:00 CET
Venue: Stadio Olimpico (Rome).

Roma will be looking to rebound from the painful 1-0 defeat to Lazio in Derby della Capitale on Sunday afternoon when they host Sampdoria in Gameweek No 28.

The loss to bitter city rivals was the third in Roma’s last four league games. Such a dismal streak has dropped Jose Mourinho’s squad out of the top-four in the Serie A table.

Nonetheless, Roma still own a fantastic home record with 8 wins in 13 league games at Stadio Olimpico this term.

La Lupa had been on a run of five straight league wins on the home patch before falling 3-4 to Sassuolo in the previous home encounter.

The match against Sampdoria offers the Romans a great chance to bounce back as Le Samp have lost 9 of their 13 away outings since the beginning of the season.

Sampdoria did manage to earn a glimmer of hope down in the relegation battle thanks to a 3-1 victory over Hellas Verona before the international break.

Nevertheless, the team led by Dejan Stankovic are still nine points behind the safe zone and only a miracle can prevent them from dropping to Serie B football next season.

Sampdoria will travel to capital of the back of five defeats and a draw in the last six away outings across competitions.

They have conceded at least two goals in three of the previous four league matches on the road.

Roma vs Sampdoria Head-to-head

• Roma will enter this on the back of four wins, one draw, and one loss in the previous six head to head meetings with Le Samp.
• La Lupa celebrated a 0-1 victory when they visited Genova in the first half of the season, back in mid-October last year.
• Just one of the last eight H2H matches between these rivals saw three or more goals scored.

Roma vs Sampdoria Prediction

Roma had kept five straight clean sheets at home before the loss to Sassuolo three weeks ago. Their Sunday’s rivals have by far the worst attacking record in the league despite netting three times in the previous round’s win over Verona.

We’ll take Roma to win to nil as the main pick at the 2.10 odds, while the braver punters can chase the 1-0 correct score pick at the 5.50 odds knowing this exact scoreline happened in each of the last two H2H outings.

Roma vs Sampdoria Betting Tips

• Roma to win to nil @ 2.10 (11/10)

• Correct Score: Roma 1-0 @ 5.50 (11/2) odd.
