Sampdoria vs Palermo Predictions, Betting Tips & Match Preview

After winning three straight league and cup games at the start of the season, Sampdoria have lost four in a row to slide back down the table.

A relegation battle could be on the cards again after their narrow escape last season unless they buck their ideas up fast, with the visit of another struggling side, Palermo, possibly giving them the best possible chance to get back on track.

Palermo only have five points on the board but defeats to Napoli and Juventus were expected, so they will be happy enough with the progress they are making.

A 1-0 win at Atalanta a couple of weeks ago suggests they are capable of grinding out results in tight matches when they need to and they will view a trip to Sampdoria as a chance to get a win against a side likely to be one of their relegation rivals this season.

Palermo are undefeated in their last five away matches in the league and another reason to side with them in our free betting tips and predictions for this Serie A clash is their fine head-to-head record against Sampdoria.

They have lost only one of their last 12 meetings with Sampdoria, although that defeat did come in this fixture last season, where they went down to a 2-0 defeat.

However, Palermo look to be improving whereas the same cannot be said for Sampdoria, so we will side with the visitors for this one, with Sampdoria’s losing streak making it hard to justify their favourite status.
