Sampdoria v Cesena : Serie B match betting preview, prediction and odds

Fri 17th Jan, 19:30 BST, Luigi Ferraris, Genova

Sampdoria and Cesena clash at the Luigi Ferraris on Friday evening, with both Andrea Sottil and Michele Mignani hoping for success in the Serie B. The odds you see on the page are provided directly from the bookmaker, while predictions are algorithmically generated from statistics over a 20-game period. We focus especially on Serie B match data, including head to head (H2H) performance. Click the tabs below to explore it all.

Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may be an over exaggeration to say that we expect Andrea Sottil and Michele Mignani to got all-out defensive here, but we do not expect a deluge of goals as Sampdoria and Cesena go head-to-head. The stats belowpoint towards there being under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we're saying that's a good shout here. With best odds of 1.67 available on under 2.5 goals and no obvious match winner in sight, that's the bet we're recommending.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Sampdoria are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 41% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.40.
