Lecco vs Sampdoria Prediction & Preview

Preview

As Serie B action continues, Lecco prepares to host Sampdoria at Stadio Rigamonti Ceppi on Wednesday, May 1st. This matchup comes in the 36th round of the league, where both teams aim to make significant strides in their respective standings.

Lecco, under the guidance of Andrea Malgrati, finds themselves in a challenging position at 20th place with only 26 points. Their recent form hasn't helped lift spirits either; they've managed just one win in their last five matches (1W, 2L, 2D), including a heavy 4-0 defeat against Parma away from home in their last outing.

On the other side, Andrea Pirlo's Sampdoria sits comfortably in the middle of the table at 8th with 46 points. They've had a slightly better run recently compared to Lecco but still mixed—securing one win from their past five games (1W, 1L,3D). Their latest game ended in a frustratingly close draw against Como (1-1) at home.

Looking back at head-to-head encounters between these two teams reveals that Sampdoria has had the upper hand; they won their previous meeting this season with a solid scoreline of Sampdoria defeating Lecco by two goals without reply.

In terms of scoring prowess and defensive stability when playing away and at home respectively—Sampdoria averages more goals per game overall (1.6) than Lecco does even on its best turf (0.5), while also conceding less particularly when playing outside their stadium.

Bet

Considering both teams' performance and goal statistics:

Lecco struggles significantly both offensively and defensively this season as reflected by an average scoreline that sees them scoring less than half as much as they concede per match while being particularly weak even when supported by home advantage. Sampdoria shows stronger offensive capabilities especially on travels averaging exactly what they manage overall per game which suggests consistency. Thus looking into current odds where Sampdoria are favored with odds for an 'Away Win' standing attractively at Odds=`` `` `` ``(Away), it seems like placing your bet on Sampdoria for an Away Win could be considered not just safer but potentially profitable given how outcomes have been trending so far.
