Next Saturday at 8:45pm GMT, on matchday 34 of the Serie A, we will see Verona play Sampdoria at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.

As it stands, Sampdoria will go to the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi in sixteenth place, Verona are currently in ninth.

Hellas Verona’s campaign so far has seen them accrue 48 points this season

Verona will hope to increase their wins in a row, having secured a 1-2 victory over Atalanta in their last fixture.

Also, Verona keep finding ways to win, having secured seven victories in their last 14 meetings is astonishing this season. With 48 points (13W, 11L and 9D), they are established in ninth position in the League having won 13 fixtures, drawn nine matches, and lost 11 games.

Verona have won nine games, drawn two fixtures, and lost five games of their 16 League matches at home this season.

Hellas Verona will see 51 points so far this season, should they secure a win.

Good Attacking Performance

They have a good scoring stats of 58 goals (56 from open play and two penalties). This has been largely down to the key attacking players: Antonin Barak (5), Gianluca Caprari (4), and Giovanni Simeone (4). Teams that leak goals on a consistent basis, don’t tend to win anything, such is the situation with Verona so far, having conceded 50 goals in their last games so far.

Verona are no strangers this season to illness and injury and Igor Tudor is concerned that Saturday’s fixture could see him without three of his key players.

It’s 29 points so far for Sampdoria this season, going into this meeting

A loss to Salernitana home, and then Bologna at away is not good enough to retain a credible run of form in the Serie A. Sampdoria will see this as an opportunity to get their season back on track.

Also, Sampdoria need to find a way to generate wins on a consistent basis, as they’ve recorded 11 losses in their last 14 matches. With 29 points, they currently sit sixteenth in the League. The breakdown for the team’s record is 8 wins, 20 losses and 5 draws having won eight games, drawn five matches, and lost 20 fixtures.

With a poor record on the road, which amounts to four wins, two darts, and 10 losses, it is hard to predict a positive outcome for Sampdoria as they travel once more.

A win in this fixture would take Sampdoria’s points to 32 in the League.

Sampdoria are likely to be missing three of their key players when they start Saturday’s game, due to injury and illness.
