Sampdoria vs Empoli Betting Tips

Sampdoria’s start to the season has been a little erratic and most of that erratic form has centred around whether they are playing at home or away. At home, they are unbeaten through five games, drawing just one and winning four. Away from home, they’ve yet to pick up a win, losing three out of four.

Their last couple of games symbolise those shifts in form. They thrashed Verona 4-1 at the weekend, one week after losing on a trip against lowly Frosinone. They should feel comfortable at home on Thursday.

Visitors Empoli aren’t to be taken for granted, but they looked like a team that will be spending significant time towards the bottom of the table, they’ve won just three games from their first nine.

They beat Genoa 2-0 at the weekend, but they’ve struggled away from home in recent weeks, losing their last two away games by a combined 5-1 score-line.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Sampdoria home form

The record is impossible to ignore, they’ve beaten much better teams than Empoli too.

2. Better team wins

Besides the home record, we also think that Sampdoria are the better squad in this match-up. They’ve had more time to rest than many Serie A teams and should be at full strength on Thursday night against an Empoli outfit that is facing some troubles.

3. Good odds

We like the lines where you get a good side, playing at home at better than even odds, well worth a look.
