In this Serie B fixture the two sides are not far apart in the table, but both still need points to move away from the bottom zone. Sampdoria sit 20th with 4 points from 6 matches, while Arezzo are 12th with 7 points from 6 matches, so this is a game neither side wants to let points slip away from. Sampdoria lost 1-4 in their latest match, and over 6 matches they have scored 6 and conceded 13, with the defence clearly a problem. Arezzo also just finished 0-0, and their season totals are identical at 6 scored and 13 conceded, but Arezzo's defence has been badly breached in some games, such as the 0-5 and 1-4 defeats. In the measurable pattern over the last 10 matches, Sampdoria have 52.2% possession and 4.6 shots on target per game, more than Arezzo's 47.4% possession and 3.1 shots on target per game. If Sampdoria score first, Arezzo will have to open up and trade blows, which will only create more space for the home side to play into and increase the chance of a second goal.
