TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Inter won their away match at AC Milan but in theory this was not strictly speaking a trip on the road as the teams share a ground at San Siro. AC Milan dominated possession in that game with Inter seeing just one third of the ball. They scored an early goal and then didn’t concede even though AC Milan created ten scoring opportunities. Antonio Cassano is Milan’s leading scorer and is expected to play in this match. Sampdoria lost their match to Parma despite having more of the play and were also beaten by Cagliari last weekend. In the latest defeat Sampdoria had a 55% share of the ball lost to a second half goal. Maxi Lopez is the side’s main source of goals

INTER MILAN - SAMPDORIA PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Inter have lost twice at home this season from four matches so this match does not look like one of the home bankers on the schedule. Milan have only the 11th best home record in the league to date, despite their current standing of third in the overall table. Sampdoria have a 50% record in matches played away from home this season and they can avoid defeat in this match against Inter. It brings together a side with a moderate home record and visitors that have avoided defeat in three of five away matches played in the early weeks of the season.

Back the draw at 3.75 with Stan James.

INTER MILAN - SAMPDORIA PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

Sampdoria should be backed with the minimum start as they have the form to avoid defeat and cover a start of just one quarter of a goal. A draw or win for the visitors makes this a winning bet and Inter’s home form suggests that this is a game they will struggle to win. In any case Sampdoria should be followed with any handicap applied to the opposition.

INTER MILAN - SAMPDORIA PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

All the relevant statistics suggest that this is potentially an average scoring game in which both teams should score. Milan’s four home matches have produced eleven goals while Sampdoria’s games on the roads have seen 14 goals at an average of almost three. Both teams to score looks an interesting bet but over 2.5 goals is the strongest bet in this category.

188Bet go 1.98 for more than two goals.
