Cremonese vs Sampdoria Predictions

• Sampdoria have seen both teams score in six of their last eight games.
• Cremonese, meanwhile, have seen both teams score in four successive games, and their tally of 21 goals conceded is the most in Serie A this season.
• Both Cremonese and Sampdoria have managed just once clean sheet apiece in Serie A this campaign.

Will something give as winless sides meet?

As the only two sides in Serie A without a win to their names this season, Cremonese and Sampdoria are both in danger of being cut adrift at the foot of the table, giving crucial importance to Monday’s head-to-head meeting between the pair. Given their dire records, it’s unlikely many punters will find the result markets appetising, but two poor defences could mean goals are on the table.

Cremonese’s tally of 21 goals conceded is the worst record in Serie A. Their lone clean sheet this season came in a 0-0 draw with Sassuolo in early September, and Massimiliano Alvini’s men have shipped 14 goals in their subsequent six outings. Five of those six games have seen both teams score, including each of the last four, and Sampdoria’s own dreadful defensive record may suggest that run could continue.

Indeed, only three teams have conceded more than the 18 Serie A goals shipped by Sampdoria this season, though their main problem has been at the other end – no team in Serie A can match their tally of just five goals scored. However, all five of those goals have come in Samp’s last seven league games, five of which have featured goals at both ends, and they should give as good as they get in this basement battle.

Both defences can be breached

Given the two sides’ lack of wins and as a result, confidence, punters are advised to seek value by neglecting the result markets and backing both teams to net on Sunday – both Cremonese and Sampdoria have managed one clean sheet apiece in 10 league outings this term.

Meanwhile, Cremonese have drawn four of their last six league matches – only losing to Lazio and Napoli in that run. A 1-1 stalemate could represent a decent correct score prediction.
