Udinese vs Sampdoria Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - May 7, 2023

Udinese vs Sampdoria
Italian Serie A
Date: 8 May 2023, Monday
Kick-off at 17:30 UK / 18:30 CET
Venue: Dacia Arena (Udine).

Udinese host Sampdoria in a low-profile Matchday No 24 tie on Monday afternoon at Dacia Arena.

The hosts will have a nice opportunity return to winning ways and make another step towards the top half of the Serie A table.

They are up against the weakest team in the league who sit at the very foot of the standings.

Sampdoria have not been pulling up any trees lately. They suffered a demolishing 5-0 defeat at Fiorentina in the previous away game and the mid-week’s home loss to Torino (0-2) did nothing to fix the poor atmosphere in the dressing room.

Head coach Dejan Stankovic offered resignation after the mentioned disaster at Stadio Artemio Franchi but the board did not accept it.

Le Samp are ten points below the safe zone line and they lack quality to even compete for the top flight survival.

When you add that Udinese have demolished the likes of Cremonese (who will also likely be relegated but sit above Sampdoria in the table) 3-0 two weeks ago at Dacia Arena, we have plenty of reasons to expect another negative result for the visitors on Monday.

Udinese vs Sampdoria Head-to-head

• Tradition speaks in Sampdoria’s favor because the visitors lead the head to head tie by 10 wins going into the54th meeting with Udinese.
• However, Udinese came on top in the last two matches against Le Samp, including this season’s 0-1 victory in January this year at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.
• Both teams scored in five of the previous seven H2H outings between the two rivals.

Udinese vs Sampdoria Prediction

It feels safe to bet against Sampdoria who have just not been pulling up any trees of late. The visitors looked dreadful in the previous two losses to Fiorentina and Torino and there is nothing to suggest any better scenario for them here against Udinese.

Le Zebrette have been very difficult to beat at their Dacia Arena throughout the season and they have destroyed Cremonese 3-0 in the recent game in their own backyard. We expect something similar to happen on Monday as we’ll go for Udinese to win by two or more goals difference at the 2.35 odds. You can also back the hosts to keep a clean sheet at the 2.10 odds.

Udinese vs Sampdoria Betting Tips

• Udinese to win in -1.5 Asian Handicap @ 2.35 (27/20)

• Udinese to keep a clean sheet @ 2.10 (11/10) odd.
