Napoli vs Sampdoria
http://www.whoscored.com/Blog/xvrkn...hoScored-Tipster-Sunday-Betting-Across-Europe

In losing 3-0 at home to Viktoria Plzen on Thursday, Napoli manager Walter Mazzarri made perfectly clear where his priorities lie; in their attempts to hunt down Juventus at the top of Serie A. Only 5 points behind them in the race for top spot they have an outside chance of catching the Old Lady, and Mazzarri rested no fewer than 5 of his first choice XI, with the likes of Hamsik, Behrami and Cannavaro all sitting out.

On Sunday the Partenopei face Sampdoria at the San Paolo, against whom they have won each of their last 4 home games without conceding a single goal. Sampdoria are improving, though, and their recent 2-1 win at Juventus certainly showed that, so a win to nil may be beyond the home side. They have got the best home record in the Italian top flight, though, and should continue their winning run against Sampdoria.

Each of their last 3 wins against the Blucerchiati have been almost solely thanks to the goals of star striker Edinson Cavani. The Uruguayan has bagged 5 goals in his 3 Serie A appearances against Sampdoria and has scored the final goal in each of those matches. He is odds-on favourite to score any time at 1.44, but with only Stephan El Sharaawy (8) having scored the last goal of a Serie A game more times this season than Cavani (7), he could be worth a punt to net last once again, at 3.00.

They probably will, but I don't understand why people are so certain about it. Sampdoria is one of the most in-form teams in the league. They also have players such as Icardi, Sansone and Estigarribia.
Why? Cause I'd make a pretty penny selling this around here :D



Let me know if still unclear. :p

:tup: I like Samp a lot, one of the rare teams in Serie A I have respect for. They have some talented young players and on a good day Samp can win against anyone. Their win aganist us might have been lucky, but after that they had a draw against Milan and won against Roma.

Napoli's pathetic Euro display and the fact they are again at home means they'll win for sure.

Napoli will drop points in the run in anyway, they always do. I'm more concerned about what we do if we go deep in the CL.
