Teams Comparison.

Hellas Verona will be happy with their start to the Serie A (SA) campaign, having managed to stay unbeaten in four of their six league games (W1, D3, L2), while conceding just five goals. Verona’s defence is currently the joint-third best in SA, with two clean sheets, including one in their most recent home game. However, they have only been able to score four SA goals, with just one coming at home. Furthermore, they have managed just six goals in the last ten SA H2Hs, whilst failing to score a first-half goal in nine matches during that sequence, which has been the case in four of their six SA games this season.

Sampdoria haven’t scored a first-half goal all season long, while managing just one first-half clean sheet themselves. With 14 SA goals conceded, and over 1.5 conceded in five of the six, Sampdoria are currently bottom of the defensive charts. However, Sampdoria have lost only once in the last 12 SA H2Hs (W6, D5, L1). The visitors have struggled on the road though, with no SA away wins since March (D2, L5) including three losses in a row this season. This sequence has seen them concede over 1.5 goals in six matches, including all three this campaign.

Quick Facts.

  • Sampdoria’s evergreen striker Fabio Quagliarella has two SA H2H goals – both coming in the second half, just like his only strike this season.
  • Verona’s Miguel Veloso has scored both of his SA goals before the break this season.
  • Seven of the last 11 SA H2Hs have been goalless at the break.
  • Sampdoria have managed just one clean sheet in 18 SA road trips.
  • The teams have been level at the break in five of Verona’s six SA games, with three remaining goalless.
