Udinese vs Sampdoria Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 8th May 2023

Despite their unconvincing form, Udinese stand a good chance of adding three more points to their account in round 34. They face Sampdoria this coming Monday, and they'll be disappointed to miss out on a win at Dacia Arena - Stadio Friuli.

Ranked as number 12 in the Serie A standings, Udinese, have so far collected 43 points this season, while Sampdoria collected 17 points. This puts them up as number 20 after 33 rounds.

Following some poor performances in this Serie A campaign recently, Udinese desperately need points from the match against Sampdoria to get back on track.

Udinese scored 12 goals, conceded 13 and fought their way to three clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Sampdoria are currently not the most scoring team in the Serie A, as they only found the back of the net nine times in ten matches. This is an average of just 0.9 goals a game in which they conceded 21 times, an average of 2.1 per game. They managed one clean sheets in of these.

The last time the pair played each other, Udinese came out the other side as 0-1 winners and surely won't mind a repeat of that result.

Udinese vs Sampdoria Prediction

Udinese Form

Udinese added four points to the standings in their previous three matches, where they first beat Cremonese 3-0. They were then defeated 1-0 against Lecce, before drawing 1-1 against SSC Napoli. Udinese only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Serie A matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew four and lost zero, as they scored 13 and conceded eight goals.

Sampdoria Form

A draw is all that prevents Sampdoria from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They claimed a point in a 1-1 draw against Spezia before getting trounced against Fiorentina by a 5-0 score. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Torino ran out 0-2 winners. In their last six Serie A away matches, Sampdoria failed to win even once. In stead, they've drawn two and lost four, scoring five while also conceding 16 times.

Going forward, Udinese and Sampdoria are both in decent form, while at the same time being generous in defence. We are confident, both teams will find the back of the net on Monday.

Udinese so far pulled off a record of ten wins, 13 draws and ten defeats in the Serie A this season. Sampdoria show off three wins, eight draws and 22 defeats in the Serie A.
