Match Preview – 11:30 Kick-Off at Stadio Luigi Ferraris, Genoa

Following Sunday’s 1-0 over Bologna, 8th placed Fiorentina remain one of only 2 teams who are unbeaten at home in Serie A this season (the other team are league leaders Juventus). La Viola are on a 5 match unbeaten run – a sequence that has largely been built on their rock solid defence. They have kept 4 clean sheets in those 5 games.

Sampdoria are in fine fettle themselves and their run of just 1 Serie A defeat in 9 has seen them blitz their way up the table where they sit 9th, 7 points behind their opponents at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Sunday. Their solitary defeat in that run came to runaway leaders Juventus and among Sampdoria’s 6 wins, they took the scalps of Roma, Milan and most recently Inter. Sampdoria haven’t conceded more than 1 goal in a game for 8 matches.

When the sides last met back in the first week of November, it finished 1-1 in an evenly matched encounter in Florence. In the last 5 meeting overall between the pair, Fiorentina have won twice, there have been 2 draws and 1 win for the Blucerchiati. Read our detailed Sampdoria vs Fiorentina betting tips below.

Sampdoria vs Fiorentina Predictions

Both Sampdoria and Fiorentina have been involved in some very low scoring games of late – interestingly Sampdoria are actually the lowest goalscorers in Serie A’s top 10 with 37 goals in 30 games. Sampdoria have only lost once at home in their last 8 games, so they will be upbeat about maintaining that record. Fiorentina will be self-assured too, following their run of clean sheets. I predict a low scoring draw at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

Bet365 have odds of 15/4 for the game to end in a draw and for there to be under 2.5 goals. With that offer covering both the 0-0 and 1-1 drawn results, I think that price is excellent. If you want something a little safer then Ladbrokes have odds of 11/10 for there to be under 2.5 goals between Sampdoria and Fiorentina.
