Sampdoria vs Monza: prediction for the Serie A match
Sampdoria and Monza haven't played against each other for over 20 years. What to expect from their meeting on Sunday? Here's our prediction.

Command Analysis

Sampdoria

Sampdoria are in a difficult situation. The team earned only two points from the first seven Serie A games and currently sits bottom of the table. This is the worst start for Sampdoria in years - they concede in almost every game and have scored only four goals so far. In the last outing, Marco Gianpaolo's men suffered a defeat to Spezia (1:2).

Monza

Monza had a poor start to their Serie A campaign, too. However, in the last two rounds, Monza finally got their first points. After a draw at Lecce (1:1), new manager Raffaele Palladinoled the team to a sensational home victory over Juventus (1:0). Following those results, Monza climbed to the 18th line in the standings.

Tip and bets
We predict an intense battle between two outsiders. It is unlikely that either side will be satisfied with a draw, since both teams really need points to strengthen the standings. Sampdoria will have the support of the stands, but Monza will be in great spirits after getting the upper hand over Juventus. We expect this to be an open high-scoring game.
Our prediction - total over 2.5 goals
Monza look a bit more interesting and aggressive than their hosts, plus they are in good mood after recording their first win in the previous round of Serie A. Sampdoria haven't been convincing so far, but home field advantage might give them additional motivation. We will play a double chance for Monza.
Second bet - Monza to not lose
