The Aquile are favourites to secure a consecutive Serie A win in these Lazio vs. Sampdoria predictions. The visitors are without a win in seven games but do have a much better record away from home.
Lazio vs. Sampdoria odds
1 – Lazio to win – 40/85
2 – Lazio to keep a clean sheet – 20/23
3 – Under 2.5 goals scored – 10/11
4 – 2-0 at full time – 29/5
5 – Ciro Immobile to score anytime – 5/4
Lazio take on Sampdoria at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday, looking to put an end to what has been a miserable February for Maurizio Sarri’s men.
The Aquile were knocked out of the Coppa Italia and have dropped points to Verona and Atalanta this month and will be keen to secure three points this weekend. With Champions League football very much in their grasp, Lazio will have to avoid any more slip-ups.
At the other end of the table, Sampdoria have seen optimism somewhat renewed in the new year. The Blucerchiati have picked up just one fewer point in their last eight games than they had in the previous 15 and they were unlucky to not come away with another last weekend.
Unfortunately for Dejan Stankovic’s side, Lazio are unlikely to allow the visitors to leave the Stadio Olimpico with anything, as we back the hosts to secure all three points on Sunday afternoon.
Sampdoria’s struggles this season have been best displayed in front of goal, bagging just 11 in the league, including three penalties. With a goal from open play roughly every third game, things are not looking good for the visitor’s chances. A wager on a clean sheet for the Aquile may pay off, especially as they boast Serie A’s third meanest defence.
Lazio have not been particularly prolific in front of goal themselves in recent weeks, having failed to score more than twice in any of their last six games in all competitions. A wager on under 2.5 goals scored this weekend, or on a higher odds bet of the hosts to win 2-0, could well pay out.
One positive note for the Aquile’s attacking prospects is Ciro Immobile’s return to form. The captain bagged a brace last weekend to secure the win over Salernitana, and in doing so became the eighth top scorer in Serie A history. It is therefore no surprise that Immobile is our, and the bookmakers, top tip to score anytime against Sampdoria.

Lazio team news
Maurizio Sarri may be forced into rotations following mid-week Europa Conference League duties. As a result, the likes of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Manuel Lazzari and Mattia Zaccagni may be dropped for the weekend clash. Alessio Romagnoli and Stefan Radu miss out through injury.
Sampdoria team news
Few changes are expected from Dejan Stankovic, despite a last minute defeat to Bologna last week. Jese Rodriguez is still waiting for his first start having signed for the club in February, with the coach potentially switching to a three-man central midfield to accommodate Thomas Rincon. Andrea Conti is also yet to start for Sampdoria, but is nearing a return following knee surgery.
