The 2022-23 Serie A season returns this weekend, and these Verona vs. Sampdoria predictions preview part of a packed schedule of matches. Both sides have struggled since the start of the season with no wins so far in 2022-23.
Verona vs. Sampdoria odds
1 – A draw – 36/13
2 – Verona under 1.5 total goals – 5/6
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 28/29
4 – Both teams to score – 3/4
5 – A 1-1 draw at – 6/1
Verona and Sampdoria find themselves already in danger of being dragged into a Serie A relegation battle in 2022-23. Neither side have managed to secure a confidence-boosting win so far this season with just two points each from their opening four games of the campaign.
With struggles for both squads in August, the pattern of no wins makes it difficult to pick a clear favourite to win this contest at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi, and a narrow draw looks to be the best option as a result prediction.
As expected, based on their respective poor form, both teams have not enjoyed a positive return in front of goal in the opening stages of the season. Hosts Verona have managed just five goals in four games, at an average of just over one goal per 90 minutes of league action, with Sampdoria scoring just once – as the lowest in the Italian top flight as it stands.
Within their combined eight games, Verona have only scored more than one goal in one outing, with Sampdoria not managing that feat at all. Three of Verona’s four games have ended with under 2.5 total goals scored and Sampdoria have mirrored that return.
However, with Verona not keeping a clean sheet this season, and Sampdoria only managing one, both sides will be confident of netting at least once in Verona. This fixture is unlikely to be the most exciting contest on the weekend calendar, particularly with a Milanese derby on the horizon at the San Siro, but both sides will be pushing to not lose, even if they cannot find that all-important first win of the campaign.
