This weekend’s Serie A schedules includes a crucial relegation six-pointer, and these Sampdoria vs. Cremonese predictions could push one side through the Serie B trap door. Hosts Sampdoria are currently 19th, with rock bottom Cremonese two points behind them.
Sampdoria vs. Cremonese odds
1 – A draw – 23/10
2 – Sampdoria under 1.5 total goals – 1/7
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 13/20
4 – Both teams to score – 1/1
5 – A 1-1 draw – 11/2
A battle down at the bottom od Serie A this weekend might not be the most exciting prospect on the horizon, but it will have a key impact on the relegation scrap as basement side Cremonese head to rivals Sampdoria.
Both teams are treading water in their bid to stay in the Italian top-flight next season, with Cremonese currently 12 points from safety, and Sampdoria only faring slightly better, with a 10-point gap.
This tie has the potential to settle at least one, if not both of their respective attempts to stay in Serie A, where a win is the only real saving point for either team.
However, their form has been too inconsistent to pick a winner, and a draw looks the most likely outcome, which could spell inevitable relegation for the pair.
Sampdoria have managed just one win in their last 12 league matches with Cremonese winning just once in Serie A all season.
Neither team look capable of seizing the initiative, despite Sampdoria having a slight edge, with goals a major issue for both of them.
Sampdoria have scored four goals at home in their last 10 Serie A fixtures at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, and Cremonese have scored in five of their seven away league games since the start of 2023.
Both teams will be confident of at least getting themselves on the score sheet and making this game into a contest, but the race looks to be over for both of them in the relegation fight.
A huge points difference, which continues to grow, is likely to be too much to overhaul in the run-in with Verona the only team looking potentially capable of clawing their way out of the bottom three.
