Under 2.5 Goals
Sampdoria’s relegation was confirmed by their 2-0 loss at Udinese last time out, and La Samp’s struggles in the find third were evident again in that crucial defeat. With just 20 goals in 34 Serie A matches, Sampdoria are the division’s lowest scorers and on Monday, they host an Empoli outfit that has notched just 13 times in 17 tests on the road this term. Just a single goal hit the net when the teams last met in January (1-0 Empoli) and action should be thin on the ground again in Monday’s rematch. With that in mind, we kick off our Sampdoria vs Empoli predictions with a wager on under 2.5 goals.
Empoli Draw no Bet
Empoli should be in high spirits following back-to-back wins over Bologna and Salernitana, and with their top flight status now all but secured, they can play without pressure at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris on Monday. Sampdoria have won only one of their last 18 matches in Serie A and they are exiting the division with a whimper. Empoli have more confidence than their hosts and the second of our football betting tips today recommends backing them in the draw no bet stakes.
