Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Sampdoria will be aiming to put an end to their three-game winless run when they host Como to their Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris on Saturday afternoon. La Samp had no more than four goal attempts in a goalless draw with Spezia and, as a result, the odds for away win have been dropping. All Kristoffer Askildsen, Manuel De Luca, and Alex Ferrari are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
The Gli Azzurri, on the other hand, are on a five-game winning run in the Italian second tier. As Como looked sharp in front of goal in a 5-2 crushing of FeralpiSalo at the weekend, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. When the two teams met in the Coppa Italia at Marassi back in 2014 Sampdoria outplayed Como 4-1, but the share of spoils is on the cards this time out. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Genoa.
