On Sunday evening, Salernitana hosts Sampdoria at the Stadio Arechi as both sides look for their first win of the new Serie A campaign.
Salernitana
After a close shave with relegation last season, Salernitana have picked up just one point from their opening two matches in Serie A. Davide Nicola’s team started the campaign with a 1-0 home defeat against Roma before drawing 0-0 with Udinese last time out. The Udinese result means that Salernitana has failed to win in their previous five matches in Serie A.
A lack of goals has been at the crux of the poor recent run of results, as Salernitana has failed to score in their last three matches in the Italian top-flight.
Salernitana has a poor recent home record in Serie A, having won just two of their previous 16 league matches on home soil. They are also winless in three home matches in Serie A.
Sampdoria
The visitors have also taken just one point from their opening two matches. However, the results were understandable, considering they faced Atalanta and Juventus. A goalless draw against the latter is a highly credible result for the Blucerchiati.
However, the draw means that Samp has won just one of their last five matches in Serie A, including suffering three defeats. The main issue for the visitors of late has been scoring goals, as they have failed to score in four of their previous five outings in the Italian top-flight.
Sampdoria have also been poor travellers in recent months, as they have failed to win in their previous four league games on their travels, having suffered three defeats in the process.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Sampdoria will record their maiden league win of the season in an unsurprisingly low-scoring encounter.
