Sampdoria – Salernitana : Preview & Prediction
Sampdoria, in 16th place, are only seven points clear of the relegation zone and need a win over bottom-placed Salernitana to get some breathing space in the table. Caputo’s nine-goal partnership will be hoping to get back to winning ways after two defeats in the last two games against AS Roma (0-1) and at Bologna (2-0) on 11 April. Samp have also won two previous home matches against Sassuolo (4-0) and Empoli (2-0), despite losing to Juventus (1-3) and AS Roma (0-1). With 7 defeats in their last 9 away games in all competitions, the bottom side is not doing well away from home. Salernitana have lost 3 times at Inter Milan (5-0), at Juventus Turin (2-0) and in Rome (2-1). With 1 point taken (Sassuolo) in the last 5 games, Salernitana has a very weak record but remains in the race for survival despite everything because Cagliari, 17th, and Venice, 18th, have done worse with 5 defeats in the last 5 games. However, the 9-point deficit seems to be too much, even if the bottom club has 2 matches to play, unlike the first relegation zone, which has its calendar up to date.
