Sampdoria vs Verona: Igor Tudor’s yellow and blue side take their unbeaten streak to 6 games

Igor Tudor’s Verona got another victory, moving closer to the European Cup zone by a distance of only 2 points. It looks like the unstable Sampdoria have no chance against this yellow and blue machine in the upcoming game. We’ll select a few options for betting at once.

Roberto D’Aversa’s team picked up a long-awaited win in the upcoming game, handling Salernitana away. Antonio Candreva netted his 5th goal of the season in a 2-0 win. If it weren’t for the veteran and his goals, the Genoa side would be in trouble. However, Sampa are already in a very bad way. The team won 2 out of the last five matches, except for Salerno, beating La Spezia, but that’s all. Only 3 points separate Sampdoria from the relegation zone at the end of 13 rounds. They expected this result when they hired the coach who made a great name for himself at Parma, D’Aversa?

In their 10th meeting under Igor Tudor, Verona suffered just one defeat at the San Siro, 2-3 at AC Milan. Verona sit in 9th place and are just 2 points behind Lazio in the European top six.

Verona’s success is a consequence of the Yellow and Blue’s very strong attacking play. Firstly, the team has an excellent array of attacking performers, with Simeone, Caprari, and Barak, for example, in the starting line-up, and Lasagna and Kalinic ready to step up as substitutes. Secondly, the team has benefited from Tudor’s tactical approach. Namely, the swift transition from their half of the pitch to the opposite side. The Yellow and Blue’s counterplay has already ruined Juventus, Lazio, Roma, who lost to Verona this season, and Napoli, who failed to outplay Igor Tudor’s men on home soil, 1-1.

It’s hard to imagine that Verona will lose to Sampdoria. The Genoese play frankly weak, they have won only 3 of their 13 matches in the current championship, and they have lost seven already. Sampdoria’s proximity to the relegation zone is no accident but the logical outcome of Roberto D'Aversa lackluster play.

The prediction is that Verona will not lose and will quite likely pick up 3 points in Genoa. The class of the teams right now is alas not comparable.
