Sampdoria – Lazio : Preview & Prediction
Duel between two bad defenses this Sunday afternoon who have conceded twenty-nine goals since the start of the season. The only difference is in the attack where Lazio have scored eight more goals than their opponents. Maurizio Sarri’s men are having a troubled time with a victory in the last five games including a spectacular 4-4 draw with Udinese at home last Thursday. To regain the top spots and fight for Europe, Pedro’s teammates absolutely have to win on the Sampdoria pitch. Problem: The Romans won only one away game and that was on day one.
The Samp is not sovereign at home. With just two wins in eight home games, Roberto D’Aversa’s players are bound to win against Lazio or see the relegation zone draw closer. Before their loss to Fiorentina, the Blucerchiati were on two back-to-back wins including one at home to Hellas Verona 3-1. They can build on that kind of game to progress and achieve good results in the future. The history is not in favor of Quagliarella’s teammates, however, who have won just one of the last nine encounters against their opponent of the day.
