It is yet another tough fixture for the Blucerchiati and these Udinese vs. Sampdoria predictions suggest it will be another disappointing defeat for the visitors. The Zebrette are not in great form themselves but have had the edge over their opponents in recent years.
Udinese vs. Sampdoria odds
1 – Udinese to win– 3/5
2 – Udinese to keep a clean sheet – 21/20
3 – Under 2.5 goals scored – 26/25
4 – Udinese to win 1-0 – 13/2
5 – Beto to score anytime – 5/4
Udinese look to continue their strong form over Sampdoria as they host the Blucerchiati at the Dacia Arena on Monday. The visitors are in miserable form, sitting bottom of the Serie A table and they could be in for yet another tough evening.
Last season saw the tide turn for the Zebrette in their results against Sampdoria. Having lost all three previous meetings, Udinese were unbeaten against them in 2021-22 and are our tip to do the double over the Blucerchiati.
Things are not looking good for Dejan Stankovic’s side, who are seeing any hopes of a late resurgence disappear with each passing game. Sampdoria are now without a win in six matches after the defeat to in-form Torino on Tuesday.
Sampdoria’s main problem, although there have been many this season, has been goalscoring. Filip Djuricic and Manolo Gabbiadini have just nine goals between them. Against a strong Udinese defence, it would be no surprise to see the visitors fail to score yet again.
In the opposing dugout, Andrea Sottil has had a similar problem, with his team sorely missing the creativity of the injured Gerard Deulofeu. A wager on a low-scoring game is our recommendation, with under 2.5 goals looking likely – or a repeat of the 1-0 Udinese victory at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris is also possible.
If anyone is to break the deadlock, it is likely to be Udinese’s Beto. The forward has double figures for the season, despite only playing two thirds of the possible fixtures. Following a likely fruitless evening against Napoli on Wednesday, Beto may enjoy being on the front foot against a Sampdoria defence that has conceded 57 goals this season.

Sampdoria team news
Dejan Stankovic is expected to rotate heavily and may look to the likes of Jese and Abdelhamid Sabiri to boost the team. Bram Nuytinck may be fit to return by the weekend, although Emil Audero, Andrea Conti and Ignacio Pussetto are all sidelined through injury.
