Sampdoria
- Sampdoria have won three of their last five matches (D1, L1), while Sudtirol are winless in their last five (D2, L3).
- Attilio Lombardo has done a very good job at Sampdoria since taking over in March 2026 and his pragmatic 3-4-2-1 system is very structured.
- His back three are always compact, his wing-backs will give the wide players the width to get forward, but his team is always ready to play on the counterattack when possession is turned over.
- Sampdoria have eight wins, five draws and five defeats at home in Serie B, averaging 1.17 goals scored and 1.11 goals conceded per match.
Sudtirol
- Sampdoria have won three of their last five matches (D1, L1), while Sudtirol are winless in their last five (D2, L3).
- Fabrizio Castori has done a great job of keeping Sudtirol’s 3-5-2 system solid since taking over in December 2024.
- But when the ball is turned over, they transition quickly and they can be dangerous on the break.
- Sudtirol’s last three matches have been a 1-1 home draw with Modena, a 6-1 thrashing away to Spezia and a 3-0 home loss to Mantova.
- They will come here off the back of consecutive defeats, but their away record stands at three wins, ten draws and five losses, averaging 1.06 goals scored and 1.44 conceded per game.
Key Players
Massimo Coda is their main goal threat, with nine in 26 Serie B games this season, but Sudtirol’s Emanuele Pecorino , who has nine in 31 , has bagged half of his team’s goals in the last four games.
Betting Insights
- The odds of 2.18 for the home team to win this are very tempting, but we feel a more secure choice is to take an open, attacking game with both teams to score - yes.
- BTTS is 1.86.
Prediction
Sampdoria will win this match, but probably not easily because Sudtirol are capable of hitting them on the odd counterattack.
