Sampdoria vs Cagliari Calcio: The Sardinians have serious staffing problems

Sampdoria plays host to Cagliari Calcio in round 20 of Serie A. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

There is no way to describe Sampdoria as a team actively fighting for survival. Instead, they are closer to the average side. In 19 rounds, the Genoese managed to earn 20 points, enough for 15th place in the table. However, they are a respectable nine points ahead of the danger zone. It should be noted that Sampdoria finished the year 2021 excellently. They managed to beat Genoa (3:1) in the derby, Torino (2:1) in the Italian Cup and also managed to come to peace with Venice (1:1) and Roma in Rome (1:1)!

For Cagliari, the situation is far worse, and they are a clear contender for relegation. Considering that the Sardinians have only won once in 19 rounds, they will probably start next season in Serie B. With ten points, they are in the penultimate (19th) position in the standings, five points behind 17 La Spezia. In their last three Serie A games, Cagliari has lost to Inter (0:4), Udinese (0:4) and Juventus (0:2).

We believe that Sampdoria is the stronger side in this encounter. Firstly, the team is playing in Genoa in front of their home stands. Secondly, the team is in great form, while Cagliari has lost three games in the last three Italian league games by a combined total of 0:10. Furthermore, the Sardinians have serious squad problems. We suggest betting for a clean win for the home side. Prediction: Sampdoria will win
