Avellino and Sampdoria have just met twice this year, and the hosts won both games 2-1. This time the context is different because both sides are still searching for their footing this season, especially Sampdoria, who sit 18th after picking up only 4 points from 5 games. Avellino have taken 7 points from 5 games, scoring 7 and conceding 6, but their form has swung sharply, after wins of 3-0 and 1-0 came a 1-1 draw and then a 1-3 defeat in their latest game. Sampdoria, meanwhile, have just won 2-1 in their latest game, but before that they lost three of four, scoring 5 and conceding 9 over the season. There is still something to latch onto in the way Sampdoria play, especially their 53.5% possession and 5.1 shots on target per game across their last 10 games, home and away, which is more than the hosts. This game is likely to be a midfield exchange rather than one side sitting back and waiting, because Avellino tend to start on the front foot at home, while Sampdoria have to push forward to escape the bottom zone. If Sampdoria score first, the game should open up immediately, because Avellino will have to push up after them, but if the hosts score first, Sampdoria will have to play with pressure that grows every minute.
