Sampdoria vs Mantova Prediction & Betting Tips (27 October)

Nine wins from their previous 11 home games in the Serie B suggests that Sampdoria are a force to be reckoned with on their own patch, and they need to keep on winning in order to maintain their bid for promotion. Mantova, meanwhile, are battling to beat the drop, which is not surprising when you consider that they have suffered nine defeats in their last 13 matches.

Under 3.5 goals has been the order of the day in recent Sampdoria matches at the top table of the Serie B, with nine games on the bounce subscribing to this particular scoring model. Not only that, but 17 of the previous 19 Mantova away games in the Serie B have also served up three goals or fewer, so the pattern has been set ahead of this encounter.

Mantova may not have secured as many points as they might have wanted on their top-flight travels so far, but they have certainly delivered plenty of entertainment, with both teams on target in four of their five trips. What’s more, five of their most recent seven Serie B meetings with Sampdoria have served up goals at both ends.
