Football – Italy – Serie A Betting Tips
Roma will be desperate to fend off Europa League challengers AC Milan this weekend when they play host to lowly Sampdoria at their Stadio Olimpico this Sunday evening with a valuable three points at stake.
Depending on results, Roma may have to play catch up on Milan who entertain struggling Udinese, but all three points tonight for Roma could see them leapfrog Inter Milan into fourth spot. Roma have won their last two matches on the trot in Serie A with wins over Frosinone and Sassuolo 3-1 and 2-0 respectively.
Roma are unbeaten in their last four matches overall while their overall home record stands at an impressive 7-3-1 24/11 and they’ve covered the -1 asian line on 6 occasions from their 11 home matches to date.
Visitors Sampdoria are on a dismal run of form at the moment as they’ve now gone five matches without a win overall which includes four defeats to Juventus, Carpi, Napoli and Bologna with only a draw against Torino saving their blushes.
Away from home, Sampdoria’s fortunes haven’t been much better as they’ve managed just one win on the road all season which was a 3-2 win away at fellow strugglers Genoa amidst a poor overall away record of 1-3-7 12/22.
As well as failing to keep a clean sheet in each of their away matches to date, Sampdoria have conceded 2 goals or more on 8 occasions from their 11 away matches so far this season.
Pick: Roma AH-1 @ 1.71 Bet Victor
