Napoli vs Sampdoria Prediction & Betting tips
Napoli did not do good business this week in the diptych with AC Milan and will go in search of revenge in his own house. Sampdoria was already eliminated in the previous round by the same AC Milan and thus had a midweek break. Can the well-performing Sampdoria take points from Naples?
Napoli:
Last weekend, Napoli played 0-0 against AC Milan for the competition, which means it can say goodbye to the championship dream. Midweeks got a second chance in Milan for the cup, that trip was not a success for the Neapolitans. Already within half an hour, the new addition Krzysztof Piatek led to a 2-0 lead. Although Napoli dictated the game and created almost all chances, it was not nearly as effective as the Polish striker. Where Milan only needed four shots, three of which needed a goal for two goals, Napoli was able to produce eight goals from nine of which nine on goal. Where Napoli easily scored at the beginning of the competition, it is becoming more and more difficult in that area, in the last nine games only nine runs were scored, three of which were made in the match against Bologna.
For example, the Azzuri have been able to forget the first Coppa Italia since 2014 and will mainly focus on the Europa League, as Champions League is almost certainly secured for next season. For Napoli first two matches against Zurich are on the program, which normally should not be difficult.
Sampdoria:
Sampdoria had a weak start of the season and therefore remained in the right-hand row until six weeks ago. Since December, everything seems to work with Giampaolo’s team. Of the eight league games that have been played since then, La Samp won five. A great draw was achieved at Lazio and Fiorentina, the only loss in the meantime was the 2-1 loss at Juventus. The driving force behind this success is Fabio Quagliarella, the 36-year-old striker is working on a second youth and already scored eleven competition matches in a row. He is already on sixteen hits and seems to be improving his own record of nineteen in one season (2017/2018) again. The current top scorer of the Serie A won two times in the 4-0 win against Udinese last weekend and equaled the record of Gabriel Batistuta, who also scored eleven games in a row (Fiorentina 1994).
