Spezia vs Sampdoria Prediction: The Genoese can't afford another defeat

Sampdoria has just two points after six rounds of the new Italian championship. Will they be able to rectify the statistics following their away game against Spezia? Check the teams’ conditions and expert betting tips. Several betting options are available!

The Eagles, led this season by former Maurizio Sarri and Udinese coach Luca Gotti, sit 15th in the Serie A table with five points after six fixtures. They are three points clear of the relegation zone. They secured it with the only win of the current league campaign, scored on Matchday 1 at home to Empoli (1:0). Also, the Eagles drew twice - with Sassuolo and Bologna both at home and with a score of 2:2. The only other away defeats they suffered were to Inter (0:3), Juventus (0:2) and, in the previous fixture, Napoli (0:1), who incidentally conceded just one goal in the 89th minute.

Although Sampa has already lost to Lazio (1:1) and Juventus (0:0) this season, that does not prevent them from relegating. Apart from those two draws with the giants, they lost all their matches - not only to Atalanta (0:2) and AC Milan (1:2) but also to Verona (1:2) and Salernitana (0:4). At this rate, Sampdoria will soon face significant changes - the Serie A regular is no better than Monza and Cremonese at the start of the championship.

There is no way Sampdoria can lose in this game. Just two points from six rounds are disastrous for a team used to a mid-table position. They will likely be able to pick up at least one point here. Spezia makes a good impression at the start of the league season, but they can hardly beat opponents off the Sampdoria level. The Eagles' two previous games against Serie A sides Sassuolo and Bologna, both of which ended in a 2:2 draw, confirm this.
