Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's unlikely that this fixture will have 4+ goals, and the odds and stats align with our predictive algorithm on this one. Sampdoria and V.Entella have seldom been involved in a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in Serie B individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, in the absence of a convincing favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.18.

Goal Statistics

A truly awful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Virtus Entella fans, as should a 5 Serie B matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
