Sampdoria vs Atalanta – Sampdoria finished the season as one of the worst teams in the Italian Serie A, dangerously near to the relegation zone. Even though the Serie A has been incredibly competitive in recent years, Atlanta has consistently been one of the strongest teams in the league.
They finished in eighth place, three points short of their goal of finishing in the top seven and therefore qualifying for one of the European competitions. They realise this was a huge blunder and will work hard to make amends.
They need to get off to a good start in the campaign. Their offensive prowess has long been a strength, and it is not unusual for them to finish a season among the league’s top scorers.
Sampdoria, meanwhile, had a 6-point cushion over the relegation zone after finishing last season in 15th place out of a possible 20. They finished with a goal differential of -17 and had not won in 28 of their previous 38 games.
Atalanta is likely to win this weekend since they have a strong head-to-head record against their opponent and because of the other factors already mentioned.
Sampdoria vs Atalanta – Betting Analysis
Atalanta had dominated their most recent match, winning by a score of 4-0. They have won three straight games. They finished the game with a 9-goal advantage.
The last time the visitors lost here was five years ago. Sampdoria had gone winless in eight of their previous twelve games overall, including a three-game skid.
It’s also worth noting that in the last calendar year, they’ve only won eight games in front of their home fans and that they’ve experienced three distinct losing streaks of two and three games each.
However, Atalanta have only lost four times away from home since October 2021, during which time they have gone on three consecutive two-match winning streaks and another three-match winning run.
