Roma vs Sampdoria Predictions

• Both teams have netted in each of Sampdoria’s last six games.
• Roma have back-to-back wins after hammering Atalanta 4-1 on Saturday, and have won six of their nine home league games.
• Sampdoria have scored 12 goals in eight away matches, more than European challengers Lazio and Fiorentina.

Roma prove the doubters wrong with crushing win

Regardless of whether Roma deserved to win a game in which they managed just 30% of the ball and five shots on goal, Jose Mourinho’s team pulled off a stunning 4-1 victory at title challengers Atalanta on Saturday, giving them back-to-back victories at the end of a difficult period for the former Chelsea boss.

Roma have netted 30 Serie A goals so far this season, a record bettered only by seven clubs, and sit within two wins of the top four after their fantastic win in Bergamo. Their home record remains amongst the best in Italy; they’ve won six of nine at the Stadio Olimpico, where their only slip-ups have come in defeats to the two Milan clubs and in a draw with Napoli, Italy’s current top three.

Sampdoria, meanwhile, have pulled themselves clear of imminent danger with a run of three wins and a draw in their last six Serie A games. They’ve maintained a decent attacking record this term, scoring more league goals than fifth-placed Juventus, and netting more on their travels than the likes of Lazio and Fiorentina.

Back Roma to win an entertaining clash

Both teams have scored in each of Sampdoria’s last six games, a run we’re backing to continue here, with Roma’s record of 20 goals conceded not quite placing them amongst Serie A’s finest. Sampdoria have, however, failed to earn a single point against top-half opposition since mid-September, so backing Mourinho’s men to make it three wins on the bounce seems a smart play.

In terms of a correct score prediction, Sampdoria’s last five league outings have seen them win 3-1 twice and lose 3-1 twice. Backing Tammy Abraham and company to win by that same scoreline looks a decent play for this contest.
