Spezia 13/8 to beat Sampdoria in Sunday’s Serie A matchup

Competition: Serie A

Market: Spezia win

Odds: 13/8 @ 888sport

Two sides who find themselves looking over their shoulder at the drop zone, Spezia will host a struggling Sampdoria on Sunday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, putting in another hugely impressive display earlier in the week, Spezia find themselves enjoying what has become a much-needed purple patch. In their 22 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded six wins, four draws and 12 defeats, scoring 23 and conceding 42 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 22, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 15th in the table and holding a four-point buffer over slipping into the drop zone. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a stunning 2-1 win away at AC Milan, Spezia have now won three of their last four Serie A matchups. Likewise, along with picking up a 1-0 win away at Napoli before heading into the festive break, Sunday’s hosts have lost just one of their last five top-flight contests.

As for the visitors, only continuing on what has been a nightmare run of form, Sampdoria find themselves firmly at the heart of a relegation scrap. In their 22 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded five wins, five draws and 12 defeats, scoring 29 and conceding 40 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 20, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat down in 16th and holding just a two-point buffer from slipping into the relegation zone. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a thumping 4-1 defeat away at Juventus, Sampdoria have lost each of their last four outings. Likewise, it should also be noted that Saturday’s guests have failed to win any of their last six contests across all formats. Given the recent gulf in class between the two sides, a home victory appears at attractive odds this weekend.
