Sampdoria vs Modena Prediction & Betting Tips (3 February)

Sampdoria Genoa, 14th overall, will have difficulty reaching the final stages of this Serie B although the gap on the 8th qualifying place held by Modena is only 5 points! What is worrying is that the results are not there and the content is worrying. Samp managed to win at Cittadella 1-2 last weekend and obtained only its 8th victory in 22 days. This success is good for the morale of Pirlo's players who were left with 1 draw in front of Bari 1-1 and 3 losses against FeralpiSalo 2-3, in Venice 5-3 and in front of Parma 0-3. Samp's defense is suffering with 13 goals conceded in the last 5 days of Serie B.

Modena, 8th, is fighting for a place in the final stages of the championship. After 6 matches without success, 2 draws and 4 defeats, Strizzolo's partners 3 goals bounced back very well last weekend by crushing the leader, Parma 3-0. With only 3 defeats in 11 trips, Modena travels quite well and can perform at Luigi Ferraris against a Samp who have only pocketed 4 successes on their field in 11 receptions.

The last eight Modena matches at this level have yielded an incredible 50 goals in total, with both teams on target in every single one of these contests, so the Modena have certainly delivered plenty of excitement. Given that nine of the previous 13 top-flight games involving Sampdoria have followed the same pattern, more of the same is expected.
