Salernitana vs Sampdoria Prediction and Betting Tip- Odds, H2H and Preview Predictions

Salernitana vs Sampdoria Prediction:

Relegation gets down to the wire as Salernitana takes on Sampdoria in the second leg of the Serie B relegation playoffs. Salernitana must overcome a two-goal deficit in order to survive in the division. Kick-off is on Sunday, 22 June at 19:30 BST, but is not available for UK viewers.

Both sides finished 16th and 17th respectively so have to play a two-legged match with the loser joining those already relegated, in Serie C. Sampdoria held strong at home and take a 2-0 lead heading into the second leg in a fiery affair which saw both sides end the game with 10 men.

As the game approaches, here is everything you need to know about both sides ahead of kick-off.

Key Statistics

• For large parts of the season, Sampdoria were in the relegation zone but went four games unbeaten in the last four games to help lift them out of the drop

• Brescia were deducted four points and would have stayed up at Sampdoria’s expense had they had those points

• This is a surprising fixture on the surface, with both teams featuring in the 2022/23 Serie A

• Both sides almost had matching goals scored and against, with Sampdoria netting once more with 38 to 37, but Salernitana conceded two less with 47 to 49

Salernitana Preview, Form and Standout Players

Salernitana Predicted Lineup (3-4-1-2): Christensen; Ruggeri, Ferrari, Lochoshvili; Ghiglione, Amatucci, Hrustic, Corazza; Caligara; Tongya, Simy.

Sunday’s hosts have not drawn in their last nine games, winning four of those. Their issue is two of their five losses have come to Sampdoria, so will have to push that fact out of their minds. The good news for fans, however, is they are unbeaten in three at home.

They have kept clean sheets in each of their last two wins too, with Simy netting in both of these games. The predicted defence for this is the same as that of those wins, but they will not be able to just sit back and defend, but to take risks.

Sampdoria Preview, Form and Standout Players

Sampdoria Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1): Cragno; Pio Riccio, Ferrari, Veroli; Depaoli, Vieira, Yepes, Meulensteen; Venuti, Sibilli; Coda.

I Blucerchiati have gone five games unbeaten and are two games unbeaten in this fixture. This includes keeping four clean sheets in this time, and so are in very strong headspace defensively, so will be hard to break down.

Playing away from home, we do not expect Sampdoria to play defensively throughout the match, with just one goal enough to spur their opponents on no-end. Massimo Coda’s eight goals have been important this season, so they will look to him to kill of the tie early.

Head-to-head Comparison

Although everything has pointed in Sampdoria’s favour, Salernitana’s home record in this fixture is very strong so the result is by far a foregone conclusion.
