Sampdoria vs Salernitana Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - March 3, 2023

Sampdoria vs Salernitana
Italian Serie A
Date: 5 March 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
Venue: Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris (Genova).

Sampdoria will try and catch their last train in the battle for avoiding the drop to Serie B football on Sunday afternoon when they host Salernitana at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.

Le Samp are once again at the very foot of the league standings after Monday’s loss to Lazio in the capital.

They are nine points below the safe zone line and head coach Dejan Stankovic desperately needs a win here against a potential direct opposition in the relegation battle.

The problem for the Serbian manager and the former Lazio and Inter Milan star is that Le Samp are yet to pick up their first win on the home patch this season.

Sampdoria own a dreadful home record having claimed no more than three points in twelve league fixtures at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris this term.

To make things worse for the hosts, their counterparts will come into this game encouraged with a phenomenal display in the 3-0 drubbing of Monza seven days ago.

It was the first home game in charge for Portuguese manager Paulo Sousa whose men delivered to go seven points clear of the red zone.

The fact that Salernitana bagged three second-half goals on the occasion bodes well for their fans as the team had failed to find the net in three consecutive games earlier.

Sampdoria vs Salernitana Head-to-head

• Sampdoria own a positive overall record in the clashes against Salernitana but it is worth noting that the visitors will go into this on the back of two straight wins in this matchup.
• Salernitana claimed a demolishing 4-0 win over Le Samp back at the start of the season in late-August last year at Stadio Arechi.,
• Just one of the previous six head to head outings between these rivals saw goals at both ends.

Sampdoria vs Salernitana Prediction

This is a big game for both teams, especially the hosts. However, knowing they have scored only 11 goals in 24 league games so far in the campaign and knowing they are winless at home in the entire season, there is really not much to suggest a positive scenario for Dejan Stankovic and his men here.

We will take the Under 2.5 goals FT as the main pick at the 1.72 odds, while you can alternatively chase the value of the 3.25 odds offered for the away win bet.
