Lazio vs Sampdoria Betting Tips

It has been a rough season for both Lazio and Sampdoria. After promising and bright campaigns in 2015/16, where both clubs exceeded preseason expectations, they now find themselves in 12th and 14th place respectively, enduring difficult losing streaks and becoming increasingly detached from the end of the table that they’re interested in.

The two teams problems are pretty similar. They’re susceptible defensively and it has disrupted their attacking rhythm. They’re finding it increasingly difficult to gain traction or put any results together and there’s a complete loss of confidence throughout the line-up.

Lazio were dominated eventually losing 2-0 to Juventus last time out, while Sampdoria lost 3-1 at home against Sassuolo. Sampdoria are win-less in six games, while Lazio’s stretch dates back to the same number of games, though they do have positive results in European football during that spell.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Open game

They’re strengths and weaknesses are each the same, they both play good attacking football, but suffer from defensive breakdowns, which can be extremely costly. Both teams need a win to somehow get their campaigns back on track.

2. Desperation

Because of that need to win, we expect an element of desperation to slip into this game and an element of back and forth football, which should leave both teams open to conceding goals.

3. Lazio get the better of the game

Our correct score prediction gives the advantage to Lazio, they are the better side, they have more depth and they should be doing better in the Serie A table.
