Sampdoria vs Salernitana Match Preview

Sampdoria hosts Salernitana on the twenty-fifth matchday of the Italian Serie Α.

The home side is coming off yet another defeat, this time 1-0 at the hands of Lazio in Rome despite holding the draw until the final quarter. Their mental reserves seem to be running out after dropping several points in the last minutes of the games while also seeing the other teams that fighting to avoid relegation to collect points. Now Stancovic's Sampdoria is bottom-placed on the table and needs back-to-back wins to save themselves. In the last six games they have collected just two points while they remain without  Gabbiadini who scored four of the team's last eleven goals.

The visitors, on the other hand, are coming off an important 3-0 home win over Monza, stopping the bleeding after a negative run of three consecutive defeats without scoring. They are seven points clear of the relegation zone and with Spezia facing Verona this weekend, a possible win here over Sampdoria would give them significant breathing space going forward.

In conclusion, I expect a game where the home side will try to get the three points to maintain their few chances to avoid relegation, but Salernitana will find spaces aiming to steal the points by taking advantage of the pressure that Sampdoria has. I will stake 3 units on the away win draw no bet at 2.30 odds.
