Tip and bets
Sampdoria haven't made any progress of late, but we believe they can put up a fight at home. Empoli have problems on the defensive and are unlikely to keep a clean sheet. But the visitors demonstrate an attacking style of football and will be able to convert at least one of their chances - Sampdoria concede in almost every game.
Our prediction - both to score
Neither side has been particularly impressive in recent games, but we will be backing the Blucerciati in this match. Empoli make too many mistakes in defense, and the hosts should take advantage of that.
