Today's Predictions for Sampdoria vs Empoli

Empoli are targeting their third win on the spin when they travel to take on bottom club Sampdoria on Monday. Read our top Sampdoria vs Empoli predictions for this week’s fixture below.

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.

Sampdoria

Keeper Emil Aduero, defender Andrea Conti and attacker Ignacio Pussetto are all considered doubts and might not feature for Sampdoria while attacker Medhi Leris is a confirmed absentee with a muscle issue. La Samp have lost three games on the bounce without scoring a single goal.

Predicted Lineup for Sampdoria: Ravaglia – Murillo, Nuytinck, Murrie – Zanoli, Winks, Rincon, Augello – Duricic, Gabbiadini, Quagliarella

Empoli

Defender Koni De Winter is out until next month with a knee issue, though Empoli have few injury issues elsewhere. Empoli beat Salernitana 2-1 last time out thanks to goals from Nicolo Cambiaghi and Francesco Caputo. Another win on Monday would guarantee their safety.

Player to Watch – Tyronne Ebuehi

Tyronne Ebuehi produced what was arguably his best performance of the campaign last week when he starred in Empoli’s 2-1 victory over Salernitana. The 27-year-old full-back provided assists for both goals and he was denied a goal himself by the woodwork. Ebuehi will hope to be just as impactful on Monday.
