Sudtirol vs. Sampdoria Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Sudtirol and Sampdoria, taking place on Saturday, 15 February 2025, at Stadio Druso in Bolzano.
Sudtirol, Recent Form
Sudtirol won't feel too deflated by the 3-1 away defeat to Cremonese, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. They came away from that fixture with 42% of the possession and clocked up 5 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Cremonese managed 17 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 10, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 11 of their 12 games this season.
This can't be seen as a good run of form at their home stadium, with 3 defeats and only 1 win from their last 6 league matches there.
Niklas Pyyhtiä will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Sudtirol.
Sampdoria, Recent Form
Sampdoria will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their home fixture against Modena. Their share of possession in that meeting was 40%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Modena had 11 shots on goal with 1 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing away from home, they have conceded a goal in 11 of their 12 games this season.
There will be mixed feelings from I Blucerchiati, having been undefeated in their last 3 away league games, but drawn the last 3 of these games.
Goalscorer Fabio Depaoli will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Sampdoria.
Sudtirol vs. Sampdoria Head to head
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Sudtirol who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-0 to Sampdoria.
