Sampdoria vs Cagliari Predictions

• The hosts home games are averaging 3.5 goals per game, with eight of their 10 home games seeing three or more goals.
• Cagliari’s away league games are witnessing an average of 2.9 goals.
• The last 10 meetings between these two sides are seeing an average of 3.3 goals per game.

Defences under the spotlight

The winter break was unfortunately timed for hosts Sampdoria who entered that period unbeaten in six of their previous eight games, although they managed to keep just a solitary clean sheet across those matches. That clean sheet came against strugglers Salernitana which just emphasises the need for improvement in their backline. The hosts enter this one off the back of two consecutive draws, but they haven’t drawn three in a row since 2014, which would suggest a win, either way, is likely.

On the flip side, the winter break could not have come at a better time for visitors Cagliari who sit firmly in the relegation zone and six points from safety. They are winless across their last 11 top-flight fixtures and have so far failed to secure victory when coming into a game as betting outsiders. Their situation looks dire and has shown no signs of improving, they’ve conceded at least twice in eight of their last nine Serie A away games and it looks unlikely that they’ll secure just their second victory of the season here.

Goals the order of the day

These two have conceded a combined 75 goals this season and both defences are likely to gift up chances here. We think there will be at least three goals in the game but we would favour the hosts to get the win here.
