Torino - Sampdoria Prediction, Picks and Tips

The ninth matchday of the Italian Serie A will end on Monday evening with two games. The table cellar is the main focus of interest, because three of the four teams are in the relegation zone. The duel between Turin FC and Sampdoria Genoa will kick off at 17:30 p.m. The garnet reds from Turin are currently the bottom line and urgently need a sense of achievement. Juventus' city rival has only five points on the credit side. The team from Genoa has twice the point yield, which is currently in the middle of the league with ten points. Although the Ranieri-Elf has performed much better than the home side this season, the best bookmakers expect a duel on equal terms. In the three-way market, there are even odds between Turin FC and Sampdoria.

Last season the team was even allowed to sniff Europe-wide and failed. Meanwhile, the club is trembling about staying in the top division. The current season is the ninth season in a row in which Turin FC is represented in Serie A. However, the club did not have any relegation concerns at this time. However, this has changed suddenly in this calendar year. Although the club started 2020 with two wins, nothing went according to plan after that. Thanks to the many points from autumn 2019, the garnets were able to keep the class. However, the club management could not be satisfied and at the end of the season a new coach change was made. Marco Giampaolo took over and should lead Belotti & Co back towards a secured midfield with ambitions upwards. The club has played nine competitive games under him and has a 3-2-4 record. However, there were two of the three victories of the season in the Italian cup competition. In the championship the team could only prevail in the basement duel with the CFC Genoa. Last weekend the team was about to cheer for a big sensation in the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. After an hour, the Giampaolo-Elf were 2-0 ahead at Inter Milan, but conceded four more goals and had to cope with the fifth defeat of the season. Once again, a Torino game was marked by countless goals. In the eight league games so far, no fewer than 34 goals have been scored, which means an average of 4.25 goals per game. With these numbers, between Turin FC and Sampdoria a forecast of over 2.5 is obvious. This despite the fact that top striker Andrea Belotti - six goals, two assists - is probably the most important offensive player due to knee problems.

An extremely weak defense meant that the Ligurians were involved in the relegation battle for a very long time last season. A strong phase with five wins out of six games was ultimately the cornerstone for the Ranieri-Elf's relegation. The veteran coach will also have promised pizza for games without a goal for the blue and whites from Genoa. After 15th place in the table, the champions from 1990/91 want to develop towards single-digit table position again this season. Before the eighth match day, the team is in tenth place and has a fairly balanced record of three wins, one draw and four defeats. There were already some positive surprises to report, but the Ranieri-Elf has already made headlines in negative respects. Sampdoria Genua celebrated victories against the two Champions League participants Lazio Rome and Atalanta Bergamo, but there was a home defeat against newly promoted Benevento Calcio or last weekend against Bologna. This defeat against Bologna underscored the lack of home strength. Sampdoria was only able to win six of the 19 home games last season. Also in this season, the Ranieri-Elf celebrated two of the three victories abroad. Sampdoria is certainly not brimming with self-confidence after two defeats, but over the entire fall of 2020, Sampdoria has delivered significantly better performances. In addition, an away game is not necessarily a disadvantage for the blue-whites. Between Turin FC and Sampdoria, a tip for the guests is quite interesting. From a personnel point of view, Claudio Ranieri will have to do without an important player. Loan from Monaco Keita Balde is suffering from muscular problems and will be a race against time. Otherwise, however, the entire squad is available.
