Fiorentina vs Sampdoria Free Betting Tips – Serie A

Goal festival to kick off the 3rd matchday of Serie A?

Betting Tips: Over 2.5 Goals
Odds: 1.75

Five Italian Serie A teams started the season brilliantly with two wins, while an identical number of clubs are still waiting for their first point to be won. One of these five teams without points is Sampdoria, who opens the fifth Serie A matchday on Friday evening. In Artemio Franchi, there is a duel between Fiorentina and Sampdoria.

The team around ex-Bayern star Franck Ribery has a balanced record with one win and one defeat. Despite the defeat, Fiorentina delivered an extremely strong performance against Inter last weekend, while “La Samp” is still looking for form.

Due to the home advantage and the performances shown so far, the best bookmakers see the home side at a clear advantage on Friday evening between Fiorentina and Sampdoria according to current odds.

Fiorentina – Statistics & current form

Despite a strong finish, the Fiorentina only finished tenth in the table last season and finally missed the targeted qualification for the UEFA Europa League quite clearly. Only one defeat in the last nine league games (five wins, three draws) give hope for the still young 2020/21 season.

Europe is the target again

In the case of the team from Tuscany, expectations and reality have diverged widely in recent years. With a mixture of routine (the obligations of Borja Valero, Giacomo Bonaventura or of course Franck Ribery) and young talents (Kouame, Lirola as newcomers or Chiesa), the Iachini team is aiming for a top-six place again.

The start succeeded with a home win against the Grenadiers of Torino FC before there was a 3-4 defeat last weekend despite a strong performance at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. Viola took the lead twice and only had to admit defeat by two late goals.

At home, things didn’t go according to plan in 2019/20

The home win at the start was by no means to be expected because last season the Fiorentina was anything but convincing in the home of Artemio Franchi. Only five of the 19 home games ended victoriously.

Despite the strong performance in Milan, caution is advised on Friday evening. In the betting base odds comparison, the Fiorentina and Sampdoria only find odds of less than 1.80 for the home win.

Probable lineup of Fiorentina:
Dragowski – Ceccherini, Caceres, Milenkovic – Biraghi, Amrabat, Bonaventura, Castrovili, Chiesa – Ribery, Kouame

Sampdoria – Statistics & Current Form

Didn’t meet your own expectations? This also applies to Sampdoria, who only finished in 15th place last season. Ex-Leicester hero Claudio Ranieri has been working in his home country for almost a year now and has a meager average of just 1.09 points per game after 33 competitive games.

A disastrous start to the season

Given these numbers, it wouldn’t be surprising if Ranieri had to take his hat off soon. Especially since there is no improvement in sight in the first two games of the season. A loss to Juventus Turin on matchday one was not a particular surprise, but rather the appearance against the witches of Benevento Calcio.

In the first home game of the season, “La Samp” got off to a brilliant start and looked like the sure winner after 18 minutes thanks to a 2-0 lead. But in a further episode, the Sampdoria actually gave the game out of hand and finally had to admit defeat 2: 3. The sober numbers deliver two games, no points, and a goal difference of -4. The Ranieri team occupies a relegation place in the current Serie A table.

Away games at “La Samp” are characterized by many goals

The first two games of the still-young season not only confirmed the poor performance of the Ranieri team but also that many goals are guaranteed for the blue-whites. Last season, an average of over three goals were scored per away game.

There were also many hits in the first two games and accordingly, on Friday between the Fiorentina and Sampdoria, both the prediction of an over 2.5 and the Both teams to score will be lucrative.

Probable lineup of Sampdoria:
Audero – Augello, Colley, Tonelli, Bereszynski – Jankto, Ekdal, Verre, Candreva – Quagliarella, Bonazzoli
