BTTS
We're expecting goals in this game at both ends of the pitch as both of these teams have found clean sheets hard to come by so far this season. Both teams have found the back of the net in three of Salernitana's and five of Sampdoria's last six outings in Serie A. Between the two clubs, just one clean sheet has been kept in their last 12 league games combined, so you can see why we're predicting goals for both clubs on Sunday.
Over 2.5 Goals
At least three goals have been scored in four of Salernitana's last five outings with the hosts conceding 4-goals in one recent home game against Empoli. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in each of Sampdoria's last six matches and the visitors have conceded exactly 3-goals in four of those fixtures.
Candreva to Score
The experienced Samprodia midfielder, Candreva, has scored more league goals this season than any of his teammates or any of the Salernitana players. Candreva goes in search of his 5th-goal of the campaign this weekend and being a dead-ball specialist, we feel he will get plenty of opportunities against Salernitana's leaky defence.

A win could prove huge for either of these struggling sides
Before the international break, Salernitana made the trip to the capital to face Lazio. The home side opened the scoring in the 31st minute and doubled their lead shortly after. Salernitana performed better in the second half but were still powerless to stop a third Lazio goal 21-minutes from time. That 3-0 defeat didn't do any good to Salernitana's goal difference and left them sitting second from bottom above Cagliari by a single point.
Sampdoria might have fancied their chances of securing a rare win when they entertained Bologna last time out. However, following a goalless first half, Bologna took the lead early in the second forty-five. Thorsby managed to pull a goal back in the 77th-minute but any hopes the hosts had of building on that equaliser fell flat-footed as Bologna retook the lead a minute later with what turned out to be the winning goal.
Team News
Salernitana: Antonio Russo. Leonardo Capezzi and Matteo Ruggeri are all injury concerns for the hosts.
Sampdoria: Adrien Silva is suspended and Fabio Quagliarella, Valerio Verre, Mikkel Damsgaard and Ronaldo Vieira look set to miss out through injury.
