Venezia - Sampdoria betting tips and odds

Venezia have a big mountain to climb. The task ahead is difficult but not impossible but with 2.70 slapped on home win in this match, this one is for the risk-takers.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Sampdoria would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

Though Venezia are here after an away defeat in the previous round against Lazio , that performance does not offer an accurate assessment of their form. They played as visitors against an overwhelmingly stronger opponent, so perhaps the draw in the first half and 1:0 loss aren’t too bad.

Sampdoria are coming off from a crushing defeat at the hands of Juventus. The top online bookmakers priced their victory at 6.10 despite the home-field advantage. This assessment turned out to be true: Sampdoria struggled to keep up from the get-go and ended up losing the match 1:3.

With 8 concessions over the last 3 matches, Venezia will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Serie A outings.

Venezia’s 18th spot in the standings marks them as on their way to relegation. With a 0 -points difference to make up, they’ll need to give it their all this Sunday.

Currently three places clear away from the relegation zone, Sampdoria have fear of dropping down breathing down their neck. Things can change rapidly in a competition as difficult as Serie A and Sampdoria need to make sure to collect as many points as they can this late in the season.

The most recent result from these two teams recorded is from earlier in the season when the teams clashed. It ended in a draw, which is worse news for Sampdoria because they are largely considered the stronger team.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.91 at bet365.
