PARMA v SAMPDORIA PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

This is a match that involves a home side in the bottom half of the table and an away side from the top half. Sampdoria are seven places and four points ahead of their rivals at the weekend. Parma have won just one of seven matches played this season while Sampdoria have lost just two of their matches. Matches involving these sides have seen less than 2.5 goals on average per game with the goals evenly split between the two sides.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Parma lost their last match, away to Catania, an average side on the basis of form this season. Parma had more than 57% of the possession but could not turn that dominance into goals. Despite controlling the play Parma had just one shot on target which is a very poor return. As the home side they should control the play and see more of the ball against Sampdoria but that does not necessarily mean they will win the match. Sampdoria lost their last match to Chievo despite having more of the play but in this upcoming fixture they can avoid defeat even without most of the possession.

PARMA - SAMPDORIA PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

On current form this is a match in which Sampdoria can avoid defeat. On evidence from last season and the start of this Sampdoria are good enough to share the points in an away match of this kind. They drew away to Roma earlier this season and that side are of better quality than Parma. If Sampdoria can reproduce that level of form a draw at least can be achieved against a side that have been far from dominant in home matches played this season to date.

Sampdoria can be backed at 4.02 with Pinnacle Sports.

PARMA - SAMPDORIA PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

Given a start of no goals Sampdoria can provide a winning bet on the handicap markets if they win and a non-losing bet if the match is drawn. Parma do not win matches of this nature on a regular basis and a draw may be the best to be expected. However, Sampdoria’s better start to the season points to at worst a drawn match but more likely a win for the away team.

Pinnacle Sports make Sampdoria 2.75 with a no goal start.

PARMA - SAMPDORIA PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Exactly one half of Sanpdoria's away matches have produced more than 2 goals and each of Parma’s home matches have seen less than this total. Parma are not prolific scorers at their own ground while on the basis of results last season Sampdoria do not score more than a goal in most matches away from home. A narrow win for the away side is anticipated and therefore under 2.5 goals.

Its 1.61 with 188Bet for under 2.5 goals.
