Sampdoria vs Ascoli Prediction & Betting Tips (11 March)

Struggling Sampdoria have found the going pretty tough on their own patch of late, winning only four times in 18 attempts in the Serie B, not to mention suffering some defeats in their previous ten games. Ascoli have endured few such difficulties on the road, enjoying eight successes over the course of their last 13 away matches at this level.

When Ascoli come calling in the Serie B, under 3.5 goals tends to follow, with this being the case in 15 of the most recent 18 away matches played by the Ascoli outfit. Not only that, but 13 of the last 15 home games played by Sampdoria at this level have also produced no more than three successful strikes, so it is hard to see this pattern changing.

Sampdoria home games in the Serie B have certainly been full of excitement recently, with both teams on target in 10 of their previous 15 encounters. Ascoli are no strangers to hitting the back of the net on their travels either, doing so in 16 of their last 18 trips at this level, so goals are expected at both ends when the sides lock horns.
