Sampdoria vs Napoli Prediction & Betting tips
Undoubtedly, the process of the game will be open and intense from the initial stage, since the two teams are offensive by nature. For this reason and knowing that the Genoese are difficult to overcome in their stadium, we believe that the bet “plus 8 corners” is interesting to bet. Remember that now the Neapolitans are more direct under the command of Carlo Ancelotti, leaving behind the excessive touch they used under the command of Maurizio Sarri. Faced with this reality, we believe that corner kicks can occur from the initial stage, falling many more depending on how the marker moves.
Sampdoria:
The Genoese side debuted in the tournament against Udinese last weekend (defeat 1-0 from the initial stage and after the final whistle). His goal is to add his first triumph in the championship and improve the image shown in his league debut. The team proposed but lacked more effectiveness in the face of the goal. Of course, it failed a bit in defense, having to improve if it wants to add to a lethal opponent. For this opportunity, technician Giampaolo is expected to maintain the 4-3-1-2 system he used a few days ago. That yes, so that it works well, it is necessary that they appear Gastón Ramírez, Defrel and Quagliarella.
This will be Sampdoria’s first home match, since the one he had to play against Fiorentina a few weeks ago was postponed. In the previous tournament, the team registered acceptable results in the Luigi Ferraris, standing out for being an effective team in attack and relatively solid in defense (12 wins, 3 draws and 4 falls). Suffice it to know that he scored 36 goals and that he gave 20 on his fence to corroborate this claim. Thanks to these numbers, it managed to be the third best place of the 2017-2018 season, being surpassed only by the champion Juventus and runner-up Nápoli.
Napoli:
The Neapolitans come to play against Milan last Saturday at the San Paolo stadium (triumph 3-2 after losing 0-2 partially in the second half). Currently they have 6 points in the general table, standing out for being a dapper and explosive team in offensive matters. Of course, his defense has not been very fine, noticing little security in the work of goalkeeper Ospina (just arrived after the departure of the experienced Queen).
As a visitor, Napoli already played a game in Calcio and the result was positive for his aspirations (triumph 1-2 against Lazio after equalizing 1-1 the first time). For this exit is expected that Ancelotti technician is a bit conservative, as it will collide with a competitive rival in his actions. Of course, despite this, has the necessary players to attack. The logic indicates that they appear Hamsik, Insigne, Alley and Mertens, explosive quartet that continues being lethal facing the rival arc. A detail to consider of these players that are more direct in this campaign, leaving behind the tiki tiki captured by Maurizio Sarri.
In the last 4 years and a half, Sampdoria and Napoli have met 5 times in the Luigi Ferraris stadium. These were the scores of those matches: Victoria 2-5 of Napoli in May 2014, 1-1 draw in December 2014, 2-4 victory of Napoli in January 2016, victory 2-4 of Napoli in May of 2017 and 0-2 triumph of Napoli in May 2018. Apparently, every time both teams clash there are always goals in between. Of course, the paternity of the Neapolitans is quite large, demonstrating it by winning their last 3 visits in a forceful way.
