The 2022-23 Serie A season kicks off this weekend and these Sampdoria vs. Atalanta predictions form part of a busy weekend in Italian football. Atalanta head into the game as favourites, after finishing in 8th place in Serie A, with Sampdoria finishing just above the drop zone.

Sampdoria vs. Atalanta odds

1 – Atalanta to win – 31/10

2 – Atalanta over 1.5 total goals – 3/4

3 – Total goals scored over 2.5 – 7/10

4 – Both teams to score – 4/6

5 – Atalanta to win 2-1 – 8/1

A new season in Serie A breeds optimism across the board with all 20 teams looking to start the campaign with a bang.

Atalanta ended 2021-22 in frustration, as Gian Piero Gasperini’s side eventually lost out in the race for Europe to Fiorentina on the final weekend, with Marco Giampaolo achieving his goal of digging Sampdoria out of the relegation battle.

Heading into the first weekend of the season, Atalanta will have higher aspirations for the months ahead than their hosts, with Gasperini confident of a win in Genoa.

Atalanta’s preseason form gives them an edge as favourites, with two wins from four warm up games, compared to Sampdoria’s record of one win from three.

The visitors’ goal record over the summer also indicates this clash will be full of goals, both for Gasperini’s charges, and for the contest as a whole.

17 goals in four preseason outings shows how potent they have been in recent weeks, alongside conceding just three goals at the other end of the pitch.

However, Sampdoria have been very solid during their own preparations for the new campaign, with four goals scored in their three games, plus a 1-0 Coppa Italia First Round win over Reggina last weekend.

Both teams will be confident of getting on the scoresheet in this clash with positive form this summer despite Sampdoria’s struggles for consistency in form at the back end of 2021-22.

However, Atalanta should still have the edge over the home side, with successive wins against them last season, both home and away, with four wins from their last six clashes against them in Serie A action.
