Sampdoria - Cagliari betting tips and odds

By pricing a home win at around 1.83, the bookies made it clear that Sampdoria are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

Cagliari appear severely unprepared for a clash with Sampdoria, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.33 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Sampdoria are coming off from a 1:1 draw in an away game at Roma . Betting predictions for that game were heavily in their opponents’ favour, though, so the fact that they pulled off a draw both at half time and as the final result is a success, relatively speaking.

The top online bookmakers priced an away win in Cagliari’s previous away match win at 19.00, marking it as borderline impossible. As such, no one was surprised when they fell behind in the first half and went on to lose the match to Juventus 2:0.

Sampdoria haven’t let a game pass them by without scoring for the past seven rounds, so this match is not likely to be any different.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Cagliari’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

As the away team and clear underdogs, Cagliari don’t have a great shot at earning some points in Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. However, they’ll need to give it their best unless they want to end up relegated. They’re placed at 19th and close to half the season is already over.

The last time we saw these two squads play against each other was earlier in this Serie A season. Sampdoria narrowly lost. With the home-field advantage on their side this time, however, most bookies see them as the favourites.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.8 odds offered at 888Sport.
