Editorial Betting Gazette

March 18th

It is a salvation challenge, but more for Verona than for Sampdoria: the Scala family are still in the running to save the category and by winning in Marassi they could obtain decisive points to mend the delay on fourth from last place. For Sampdoria signs of awakening against Juve, but the feeling is that fate is now sealed. Kick-off Sunday 19 March at 12.30.

THE PREDICTION: UNDER 2.5

—

The two worst attacks in Serie A challenge each other: last place for Sampdoria, with just 13 goals scored in 26 games, followed by that of Verona who scored 21 goals, equal to Cremonese. Going specifically, Samp a Marassi have scored just three goals in 13 games (worst home score of the tournament), while Verona are the team that scored the fewest away goals, just six goals. There are therefore all the conditions for hypothesizing the Under 2.5, offered at 1.57 by bet365, Goldbet and Snai. The card factor must also be evaluated: in fact, the two most sanctioned teams in the championship compete: 79 yellow cards remedied by Sampdoria, 71 (plus 3 expulsions) those on the back of Verona. Among the players, watch out for Leris and Ceccherini, already booked eleven and seven times this season: a yellow card for the Doriano pays 2.75 with Sisal and Snai. The same amount also for the Verona defender.

SOME NUMBERS

—

Sampdoria have not won in 10 matches and have not yet won a match at Marassi’s friendly walls this season (four draws and nine defeats in 13 meetings). Also for Verona there is a box still at zero: it is that of away victories (five draws and seven defeats in 12 games so far). If we analyze the goals, 10 of Verona’s last 11 away games have ended in Under 2.5, confirming our prediction. Same outcome in four of Sampdoria’s last five home games.

STATISTICS AND BACKGROUND

—

Sampdoria ahead in the precedents count: the blucerchiati have in fact won three of their last five matches against Verona in Serie A (one draw and one defeat). However, the first leg played on 4 September 2022 at Bentegodi ended 2-1 in favor of Hellas, capable of overturning Sampdoria’s initial advantage.
