Sampdoria will entertain Monza at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in a bottom-of-the-table Serie A clash on Sunday.
The home team are yet to taste victory in the ongoing Serie A campaign and have just two points to their name, having lost five of their seven league games thus far. They are in 20th place in the league table. They have lost three games in a row and in their previous outing fell to a 2-1 defeat against Spezia.
Monza have been able to put a slow start to the campaign behind them and after losing their first five games, they are undefeated in their last two. They picked up their first-ever win in Serie A last time around. Christian Gytkjær's 70th-minute goal helped them record a memorable win over 10-man Juventus at home.
Sampdoria vs Monza Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Sampdoria vs Monza Prediction
Both teams have produced similar stats this term, with the lack of goals and a porous defense being the two major factors in their struggles thus far. The Biancorossi have avoided defeats in their last two games and might be looking to carry that momentum here.
As the Blucerchiati have never lost a game at home to Monza, they are expected to hold their own and a low-scoring draw might ensue.
Prediction: Sampdoria 1-1 Monza
