There hasn’t been a home win in this head-to-head in any of the last eight meetings between the sides. The last three of which have all been away wins including Samp’s 0-3 win in Empoli back in September. Empoli are also the sixth best away side in Serie A and have lost just twice on the road all season.

We are going against all the signs though as we feel Sampdoria’s 4-0 win in their last home match suggests they will be a threat here. Therefore, 101 Great Goals’ prediction for this match is Sampdoria Genoa 2-1 Empoli and is available at odds of 9/1.

Alternatively, you can bet on any Sampdoria win at 2.15/1 against Gli Azzurri at home on Saturday.

Or, any away win for Empoli at 3.25/1 at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

You can find odds of 3.4/1 for any draw between Sampdoria and Empoli on Saturday.

Match preview

The Blue-circled welcome Empoli to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Saturday for this Serie A match.

La Samp lost their last league match away to AC Milan. Expected goals of 1.6 to 0.2 in favour of AC Milan indicates perhaps it was a fair result. The I Blucerchiati fans will be particularly disappointed with the attacking performance with just one shot on target and an xG of 0.17 for the match. The final score of the match was 1-0.

Their opponent on Saturday, Empoli, come into the match on a run of eight league games without a win. They have picked up four points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Serie A matches.

The Blues shared the points in their last league match at home to Cagliari Calcio. Expected goals of 0.8 to 0.6 in favour of Cagliari indicates both teams probably deserved only a point.

Although, having taken a first-half lead through Andrea Pinamonti and held it until the last five minutes of the game, Empoli will feel they should have seen out the win. Pinamonti now has nine league goals this season for Empoli. The final score of the match was 1-1.
