Sampdoria - Genoa betting tips and odds

Sampdoria have a big mountain to climb. The task ahead is difficult but not impossible but with 2.68 slapped on home win in this match, this one is for the risk-takers.

Genoa are not a team that backs down from a challenge and we expect them to give their best in an effort to claim a victory in this match.

The home side had their fans sitting on the edge of the seat last time in the Serie A. Sampdoria played a tough game away from home and had a win in the bag for the first 45 minutes. They had a great chance of landing what would have been three important points but failed to keep it until the end. However, a point away is nothing to scoff at.

Genoa are coming on the back of a narrow 1:0 home win against Cagliari in the previous round of the Serie A. The odds were in their favour from the get-go, though, with most online bookmakers pricing a home win at 2.12.

The hosts’ fans are somewhat disappointed at them, given the lacklustre defensive performances they’ve seen recently. Sampdoria conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 games played at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Serie A engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

The season is almost over, which means the current standings are more or less the final ones. This game’s hosts are number 16th, which puts them 5 points above the relegation zone. A bigger difference would allow them to breathe easier – after all, Genoa will not be an easy challenge.

Surviving in the Serie A is Genoa’s only goal right now, and it’s becoming almost impossible for them to achieve it. With 0 points needed to climb up to safety and barely any time to earn them, they’re well on their way to relegation.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 2.68 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Sampdoria won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.84.
