Sampdoria have lost just one match since the beginning of the season and they’d prefer to keep this record alive while facing Udinese next Sunday afternoon (15:00 CET) at Luigi Ferraris.
Sampdoria Betting News
It’s a wonderful season so far for Sampdoria. Placed fourth in Serie A, with only one defeat in 16 matches (to Inter) and coming from a solid performance at Juventus home ground (1-1) last weekend, Sampdoria entertain Udinese, determined to close the year with a win.
Sinisa Mihajlovic will replace suspended Alessio Romagnoli with Vasco Regini, while Matias Silvestre and Pawel Wszolek are injured.
Udinese Betting News
Problems in defense for Udinese. Ivan Piris has not yet returned to the team, while Maurizio Domizzi stopped Thursday’s training and he won’t be able to recover until Sunday.
It’s important to notice that Udinese started the season with four wins in their first five matches but, after another injury of Domizzi last September, the team completely lost their step, managing to win just two in their next ten. Allan and Luis Muriel will also not be available
Udinese stunned Inter a fortnight ago, but lost their last fixture at home to Verona.
Sampdoria vs Udinese Match Prediction
In the previous three meetings between the two teams, 14 goals had been scored! Sampdoria won last year’s home encounter with a comfortable 3-0, but last May the two teams had an amazing clash in Udine. The score was overturned three times (0-1, 2-1, 2-3), before it was settled in a draw (3-3).
Sampdoria are in need of the three-pointer and they also seem more capable to grab it, in order to keep touch with their main rivals for the third place in Serie A, Napoli, who won Thursday night.
