SPAL vs Sampdoria Live Stats & Betting Odds
SPAL Prediction – Can SPAL put up resistance?
Monday night’s hosts, SPAL, find themselves in the bottom three of Serie A and second from bottom after winning just 2 of their first 10 matches of the new Italian top flight season, but they’ll be hopeful that they can pull themselves out of trouble with all three points against bottom club, Sampdoria, in this encounter.
Although SPAL have lost all 5 of their away matches to date in Serie A, results on home turf at their Stadio Paolo Mazza have been more encouraging as the hosts have recently registered a 1-0 win against Parma which was followed by a very decent point in a 1-1 draw with Napoli.
Despite losses to Atalanta and Lecce, SPAL have also registered a 2-1 win against Lazio as well amidst an overall home record which stands at 2-1-2 7/8, so the home side will be reasonably confident that they can grab something from this clash.
SPAL forwards, Petagna (3 goals) and Di Francesco (2 goals) look the most likely to score for the hosts in this one.
Sampdoria Prediction – Can Sampdoria pull away from bottom?
The visitors, Sampdoria, find themselves in an even worse situation than their hosts on Monday night as they sit bottom of the Italian top flight with just 5 points to their name after recording just 1 win out of their first 10 matches of this new Serie A season.
That rare success came in the shape of a 1-0 home win against Torino but that’s been the only highlight in what has been a miserable start to this campaign for Sampdoria who head into this Monday night clash with SPAL on the back of 6 matches without a win.
Following the home win over Torino at their Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, subsequent defeats to Fiorentina, Inter Milan, Hellas Verona and Bologna have meant that Sampdoria remain rooted to the bottom of Serie A, while their form away from home continues to be a serious concern.
Sampdoria have lost all 5 of their away matches to date amidst a poor record of 0-0-5 3/12 with goals being hard to come by, and only SPAL (0 goals) have a worse attacking record away from home in the Italian top flight.
Key-Facts – SPAL vs Sampdoria
- SPAL are unbeaten in their last 2 matches overall in Serie A
- Sampdoria have lost their last 5 away matches on the trot in Serie A
- Sampdoria have now gone 9 away matches without a win in Serie A
Betting Tips Verdict
SPAL have a decent chance to get at least a point here, but the hosts may take all three points given Sampdoria’s poor results away from home.
