Hellas Verona

The Mastiffs lost 0:1 to Atalanta at home before getting a draw against Empoli (1:1) in the middle of the week. These results put Verona in 17th place in the standings.

Tip and bets
Verona's players are yet to pick up form, plus the new manager needs more time to get the team to play the kind of football he wants them to play. Sampdoria were off to a poor start, too, but in the last game they looked decent. In four games, the Blucerchiati scored only one goal, but Francesco Caputo, Fabio Quagliarella, Manolo Gabbiadini should be able to find the back of the net eventually.
Our prediction – Sampdoria IT over 1 goal
Verona are in terrible team form and it seems like there is some misunderstanding between the new manager and the players. Plus, Sampdoria is an uncomfortable opponent for the Mastiffs. Since 1989, the teams have played 27 games, and the club from Genoa has never lost. We will give them the edge here.
Second prediction – Asian handicap (0) to Sampdoria
