This clash will have repercussions in the battle against relegation and these Sampdoria vs. Salernitana predictions suggest it will be a closely fought encounter.
Sampdoria vs. Salernitana odds
1 – The draw – 9/4
2 – Under 2.5 goals scored – 8/11
3 – Both teams to score – 10/11
4 – Antonio Candreva to score at anytime – 6/1
5 – Game to finish 1-1 – 5/1
If things were not bad enough for Sampdoria – on and off the pitch – Cremonese’s shock win over Roma on Tuesday saw the Blucerchiati drop to the bottom of the league, making this game even more important to both sides.
Samp actually played well against Lazio last weekend but ended up the losing side once again. There have still only been two victories all season. Now Dejan Stanković needs to figure out how to get the best from his limited squad for such a crucial fixture.
It is difficult to see Sampdoria being able to completely turn things around on Sunday. But even a point from a draw could prove crucial in the fight against relegation – and that might be exactly what happens at the Marassi this weekend.
Salernitana were able to record their first win in four attempts with a spiriting 3-0 victory over surprise package Monza last weekend. That pulled the side away from the drop zone, but that will not be enough daylight for Paulo Sousa, who knows that a good run of form is needed quickly.
After a positive start to the season, the Granata fell away drastically before the end of last year and have been unable to get going again. A relegation battle seems inevitable and a draw against one of their rivals should be welcomed.
To rub salt into Sampdoria wounds, it would not be a complete surprise if Antonio Candreva scores the goal that stops the home side from getting a much-needed win on Sunday. The veteran midfielder played in Genoa for two seasons before signing for Salernitana on loan.
