Sampdoria vs Lazio Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Sampdoria v Lazio
Italian Serie A
Date: Saturday, October 17, 2024
Start at 17pm in the UK
Venue: Stadio Luigi Ferraris, Genoa.

Another interesting Serie A fixture on Saturday is Sampdoria, who managed to bounce back from a dismal start with a win over Fiorentina, and Lazio, who have struggled to regain the form that made them title contenders in the previous campaign.

The visitors will also have a lot of players who have been heavily involved in internationals over the past two weeks, so fitness could be an issue for the Inzaghi boys.

Still, brokers see them as favorites to win, currently priced at 2,00. Let's take a look at recent results and the shape of these two sides.

Head to head Sampdoria vs Lazio

There have been 28 head-to-head meetings between these teams in the past and the stats are very favorable for the Sky Blues. Lazio have won 18 times, lost five, while five games ended without a winner.

The capital team has scored an average of two goals in all matches against Sampdoria so far.

Sampdoria have also lost their last three games at home to Lazio SS.

Sampdoria vs Lazio Prediction

After early defeats to Juventus (0-3 FT) and Benevento at home (shocking defeat 2-3 FT), Sampdoria fans finally had a reason to celebrate.

The team went to Firenze as huge underdogs, but returned home with three points in their pocket, winning the match 2-1 in the FT.

Veteran and one of the club's legends, Fábio Quagliarella, scored the opener, while Valerio Verre's first win of the season came with just seven minutes remaining.

In general, the Genoa team does not have high expectations for this season. Anything not close to the red zone will be considered a success.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic's good form is certainly encouraging for all fans and for the Lazio coach. The Serbian midfielder single-handedly defeated Norway in the EURO qualifying round, scoring two goals. However, his appearances in Serie A have not been as good, but the whole team is struggling for form.

Lazio are currently ninth with four points from three games. The home loss to Atalanta was really painful to watch (1-4 FT).

The Sky Blues definitely have the quality to compete for the top spot. They retained the vast majority of the squad that challenged Juve last season. We support them to conquer Genoa.
