Sampdoria Atalanta betting prediction

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 15^th last season. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 12 goals scored and 24 conceded; against 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 18 conceded. In their last match, for the Coppa Italia, they got a home win against Reggina by (1‑0). In the last 10 home matches Sampdoria has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 40 of the last 47 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 31 out of 47 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 15 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Sampdoria comes for this match after a 1-0 victory against Reggina, counting for the Coppa Italia: the only goal of the match was scored by Abdelhamid Sabiri. The home team usually plays in a traditional 4-3-3, favoring quick transitions and attacks through the wings. In this tactical formation, the three most advanced men will be Antonio Candreva, Mehdi Léris and Francesco Caputo, the latter being very powerful and competent when it comes to finishing. Coach Marco Giampaolo cannot count on Manolo Gabbiadini due to physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Emil Audero, Omar Colley, Alex Ferrari, Tommaso Augello, Bartosz Bereszyński, Ronaldo Vieira, Filip Đuričić, Mehdi Léris, Abdelhamid Sabiri, Tomás Rincón, Francesco Caputo.
Coach: M. Giampaolo.
