Today's Predictions for Sampdoria vs Verona
Two sides in desperate need of points face off on Sunday when Sampdoria host Verona in Serie A. Read our top Sampdoria vs Verona predictions for this weekend’s fixture below.

Draw
Both Sampdoria and Verona are considered two of Serie A’s prime relegation candidates this season and a glance at their home and away records for the campaign helps to explain why. La Samp have yet to win a single match at home this term, while Verona are one of only two outfits in the Italian top tier yet to post a single victory on the road. Neither side seems to have the wherewithal to push for maximum points on Sunday, and our first Sampdoria vs Verona prediction forecasts a draw with that in mind.
Under 2.5 Goals
We close our set of football betting tips today by recommending a flutter on under 2.5 goals this weekend. Incredibly, Sampdoria’s only goal in their last nine Serie A home games came from the penalty spot against Bologna last month, while Verona managed to rattle the net just twice in their last six matches combined. Both sides look alarmingly short of firepower and we expect to see a game of few chances and little quality when they meet on Sunday.

Sampdoria vs Verona Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Sampdoria vs Verona lineups and team news for Sunday’s meeting below.
Sampdoria
Sampdoria will be without Andrea Conti, Sam Lammers, Emil Audero and Ignacio Pussetto on Sunday, while there are also doubts about the availability of Jeison Murillo. Tomas Rincon is also suspended in midfield and misses out. La Samp are still bottom of the league following their 4-2 loss at Juventus last week.
Predicted Lineup for Sampdoria: Turk – Gunter, Nuytinck, Amione – Zanoli, Winks, Malagrida, Augello – Leris, Duricic, Gabbiadini
Verona
Federico Ceccherini, Ibrahim Sulemana and Cyril Ngonge are all out injured for Verona, while Ajdin Hrustic and Thomas Henry are rated as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game. Verona drew for the second game on the spin when they held Monza to a 1-1 draw last weekend.
Predicted Lineup for Verona: Montipo – Dawidowicz, Magnani, Coppola – Faraoni, Tameze, Duda, Lazovic – Kallon, Verdi, Gaich
Player to Watch – Simone Verdi
Simone Verdi has handed just his sixth start of the Serie A campaign when he lined out against Monza and the 30-year-old repaid his manager’s faith by netting his team’s goal in an eventual 1-1 draw. Verdi could start again on Sunday and the attacker will hope to make a splash again.
