Match Preview

Both Sampdoria and Chievo are safe in midtable – they can't qualify for Europa League and can't be relegated from Serie A. Both teams had a relatively good season, but both have experienced tougher luck in recent weeks. Sampdoria are winless in five games and were thrashed 7-3 at Lazio on Sunday, albeit playing with ten men. Chievo only won once in the last five Serie A fixtures, and couldn't even beat Palermo at home. Both teams can't be trusted, especially because they have little to play for, and making our Sampdoria vs Chievo predictions is not easy.

There is a good solution for our Sampdoria vs Chievo betting tips, though. When team don't worry about results, they tend to play attacking football, and that was the case with both Chievo and Sampdoria. We should expect a high scoring affair.

Sampdoria vs Chievo Predictions and Betting Advice

As mentioned in our Sampdoria vs Chievo preview, it is logical to expect goals in this fixture. Five of the last six Chievo away matches produced over 2.5 goals. That was also the case in five out of the last seven Sampdoria home fixtures. Sampdoria conceded seven goals against Lazio, and they are unlikely to keep a clean sheet, but Fabio Quagliarella is in great form up front. There are two decent options. The odds on over 2.5 goals are tolerable at 1.61, the odds on both teams to score are similar at 1.57. Both should be good in a wide open match.
