Verona – Sampdoria : Preview & Prediction
Hellas Verona are stuck in the bottom half of the table (9th) but Tudor’s side are not out of the European places. With 15 points still to play for, Hellas Verona are only 8 points behind Lazio and the 6th place that is synonymous with European qualification. Simeone’s team-mates (16 goals) will try to win it all knowing that they can play the “final” for Europe at Lazio on the last day of the season. The Verona club will be hoping to take the 3 points against Samp and keep the momentum going. The current ninth-placed side have won two of their last three matches against Genoa (1-0) and Atalanta Bergamo (2-1) on 18 April. This achievement in Bergamo follows a defeat in Lombardy against Inter Milan (2-0). Hellas Verona, who have won four of their last five matches at the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi, should get the better of a Sampdoria side in freefall. The current 16th-placed Serie A side have taken just three points from 21 at Venice (2-0), losing six of their last seven games. Giampaolo’s men have lost three games in a row against AS Roma (0-1), Bologna (2-0) and bottom side Salernitana (1-2). The defeat against the last of the Calcio means that Caputo’s partners (10 goals) are in a deep state of pain. Samp are 7 points clear of the red zone, which leaves them 2 jokers with 5 games to go.
Hellas Verona have won 4 of their last 5 games.
