Hellas Verona vs. Sampdoria – High-flying In a Round 12 meeting of the 2020-21 Serie A season, Hellas Verona welcomes Sampdoria to the Stadio Marc-Antonio Bentegodi. Verona has climbed to seventh place in the table with 19 points in as many games this season, while Sampdoria is in thirteenth place with 11 points in as many games.
Hellas Verona drew 1-1 with Cagliari at home after a shock 2-0 win away to Atalanta. They kept their unbeaten streak going with a 2-1 victory over Lazio in Rome. The game was evenly situated after Manuel Lazzari’s own goal and Felipe Caicedo’s equaliser, only for Adrien Tameze to pounce on Stefan Radu’s under-hit backpass and score the game-winning goal in the 67th minute.
Sampdoria suffered another sad 1-2 defeat away to Napoli, following their narrow 1-2 loss to AC Milan last time out. Claudio Ranieri’s team had a chance after Jakub Jankto’s 20th-minute opener, but second-half goals from Hirving Lozano and Andrea Petagna condemned Sampdoria to their sixth game without a win. With six wins and two ties in the last 10 games, Sampdoria has dominated this match. Last season, one of Hellas Verona’s two victories came at home, a 2-0 victory in October 2019.
Hellas Verona vs. Sampdoria – Betting Analysis
The two teams last played in March of this year, with Sampdoria winning 2-1 at home.
Sampdoria may have a historical advantage over Hellas Verona, but Ivan Juric’s team is a different animal this season. Verona are favourites for this game due to Mattia Zaccagni’s excellent form and the misfiring of Fabio Quagliarella and his teammates.
Hellas Verona is expected to extend Sampdoria’s losing streak with a hard-fought victory.
