Match Preview
The Blue-circled welcome AS Roma to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Sunday for this Serie A match. I Giallorossi have the upper hand in the head-to-head, with 51 wins to Sampdoria Genoa's 40, from their 127 encounters. However, home advantage seems to play a huge role when these sides face each other as reflected in Sampdoria dominance here with 30 wins to Roma's 10. Samp were also 2-0 winners in the corresponding match last season here.
Sampdoria Genoa come into the match having picked up six points from a maximum of 18 from their last six matches.
La Samp won their last league match away to Venezia. Expected goals of 1.6 to 1.4 in favour of Venezia indicates Sampdoria didn't deserve all three points on the balance of chances created.
I Blucerchiati's Francesco Caputo was in good form as he scored a first-half brace of goals against Venezia. Caputo now has nine goals this season in the league for Sampdoria and is 2.62/1 to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 0-2.
Their opponent on Sunday, AS Roma, come into the match on a run of nine league games undefeated. They have picked up 12 points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Serie A matches.
The Yellow and Reds won their last league match at home to Lazio Roma. Expected goals of 2.5 to 0.4 in favour of Roma indicates it was likely a fair result. I Giallorossi's Tammy Abraham also scored a brace of goals for his side before the international break in the Rome Derby.
