Sampdoria vs Genoa Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Sampdoria vs Genoa
Italy Serie A
Date: Sunday, November 1, 2024
Start at 19pm in the UK
Venue: Luigi Ferraris Stadium.

Sampdoria had a troubled start to the campaign but have recently recovered and will host Genoa for the city derby in fine form. They have snapped a four-match winning streak since the start of October and are now looking for more of the same, desperate to challenge for a top-6 spot as they trail Juventus and Atalanta.

Samp beat Fiorentina (1-2) before the break and took advantage with six points in important matches against Lazio (3-0) and Atalanta (1-3). They also beat Salernitana (1-0) in the Coppa Italia with an alternating midweek line-up and we feel that Claudio Ranieri has a lot to work on, with Fabio Quagliarella again in the lead.

Genoa really wasn't able to repeat such success against the big ones. They saw a crushing defeat at the hands of Napoli (6-0) and gained a point against Verona (0-0), only to see a 0-2 home loss to Inter Milan more recently. Beat Catanzaro (2-1) in Coppa Italia, but feel Grifone are far from their best, desperately needing points to escape the danger zone early on.

Sampdoria vs Genoa head to head

We are used to close clashes between teams in recent times, with a margin of victory of more than one goal seen only once in the last five games.

Genoa managed a 1-2 victory in July when Criscito and Lerager scored.

Sampdoria have won twice in a row and now want to get back to that streak in the Derby della Lanterna.

Sampdoria vs Genoa Prediction

We see La Samp making it happen and now we're going to stick with them to build a four-game winning streak here. Let's support Sampdoria at 1,90, which sounds like great value, although derby days are never a regular competition and promise great excitement at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium once again.

Thus, we expect to see goals and look for a great scoring opportunity with Over 2,5 goals FT at 1,72. Genoa were unpredictable in the attacking third and struggled to stay consistent, but we think it will be a big challenge here.

So we expect to see them make an impact and Sampdoria will have to overcome them if they want to secure the points.
