Salernitana v Sampdoria Tips

Salernitana have 3 consecutive wins on home soil versus Sampdoria before this, including a 3-2 win in this fixture during the regular season. Despite their final league position, the hosts ended the season with 4 wins in their last 6 games, and went unbeaten on home soil against any side in 10th and below in the table, including 8 wins during that time. Sampdoria only managed 2 wins on their travels throughout the campaign and should struggle to overcome Salernitana's strong record on home soil here.

Sampdoria won the 1st leg and I don't see them losing here. The visitors are prone to draw games as they have 3 draws in their last 5 games. Both teams have an equal 2 wins in 5 games which suggests they are pretty balanced.

Sampdoria hold a 2??'0 lead from the first leg and enter the second leg with confidence, solid form, and defensive stability. Salernitana are under pressure and struggling with form. Backing Sampdoria is smart, especially on double chance or win to nil, as they aim to control and close the tie.

Four of their last six head-to-head meetings ended under 2.5 goals. Salernitana have won four of their last six home games. Sampdoria's last four away games have all ended with two or fewer goals. In recent meetings between the two teams, Sampdoria won 2-0 twice in May and June. I recommend under 2.5 goals.

Salernitana (17th) must overcome a two goal deficit from the first leg of this relegation play-off final but their home record this season was very impressive, particularly against bottom half sides, where they earned 7 wins from 9 matches, going Over +2.50 in all 3 of their matches versus sides that finished below them as well, including a 3-2 victory in this fixture previously. The visitors (18th) only managed 2 wins on their travels all season, with just 2 clean sheets during that time as well, and while I think they'll get on the scoresheet here, I can't see them outscoring their opponents with such a strong record on home soil.

Salernitana's squad is battling widespread illness, severely impacting their offensive capabilities. Sampdoria, with a 2-0 lead, will focus on defense. Expect one or neither team to score.
