Both Teams to Score
With both Lecce and Sampdoria struggling to produce wins or even draws of late, neither side appears backable in the match result market and instead we’re advising a double-dip into the goals arena starting with both teams to score. Four of La Samps’ last seven matches in Serie A have featured goals at both ends, while BTTS has also landed in two of the last three encounters between Lecce and Sampdoria. Expect more of the same here.
Over 2.5 Goals
We close our football betting tips today with a stride into the overs realm and were backing the net to ripple over 2.5 times at the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare. With Sampdoria’s need for points becoming more desperate by the week as they aim to launch a late survival bid, their fixtures have been more open, and their last four games alone averaged a huge 4.5 goals per 90 minutes. More entertainment could be in the works on Sunday, and our second Lecce vs Sampdoria prediction anticipates more goals.

Lecce vs Sampdoria Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Lecce vs Sampdoria lineups and team news for Sunday’s match below.
Lecce
Lecce still have concerns over the availability of Kastriot Dermaku and Marin Pongracic, with both defenders rated as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game. Lecce lost for the sixth time in a row when they were toppled at home by Napoli last time out. They are now just five points clear of the drop zone in Serie A.
Predicted Lineup for Lecce: Falcone – Gendrey, Baschirotto, Umtitti, Gallo – Maleh, Hjumland, Gonzalez – Strefezza, Di Francesco, Ceesay
Sampdoria
Jeison Murillo is free to play again following a recent ban, though keeper Emil Aduero is injured while Abdelhamid Sabiri has a virus and is also sidelined. Andrea Conti and Ignacio Pussetto are both considered doubts and might not feature either.
Predicted Lineup for Sampdoria: Ravaglia – Gunter, Nuytinck, Amione – Zanoli, Winks, Duricic, Augello – Leris, Cuisance, Gabbiadini
Player to Watch – Gabriel Strefezza
Gabriel Strefezza was kept on the bench last week in Lecce’s loss to Napoli, though the club’s leading marksman should be back in the XI on Sunday. The 25-year-old has rattled the net seven times already this season, though he didn’t register when Lecce beat Sampdoria 2-0 in November.
