Palermo vs Sampdoria

All eyes will be on Renzo Barbera when Palermo take on Sampdoria in the Serie B derby, with the hosts looking to continue their excellent start to the campaign. One of the promotion favourites, Palermo have won their last four matches in all competitions, including a thrilling 3-2 victory over Arezzo in round two. The Sicilians have also won 67% of their last 10 home games, scoring an impressive 3.00 goals per match while conceding just 0.83. Jess Joronen is the only absentee, with Joel Pohjanpalo expected to be the key attacking threat.

Sampdoria, meanwhile, have yet to find their rhythm and suffered a 2-1 defeat to Juve Stabia at the weekend. Lauritsen, Meijer and Ravanelli remain sidelined, further weakening La Samp's options. The visitors have won just 17% of their last 10 away games, averaging only 0.50 goals and failing to score in 67% of those matches. Although the H2H record is closely contested, Palermo appear to have the momentum and firepower to claim the derby spoils.

Given Palermo's fine home form and Sampdoria’s poor away record, punters worldwide can find value in betting on Home Win, alongside Under 3.5 goals (Sampdoria’s last 10 away games average just 1.17 goals)..
