Fiorentina vs Sampdoria Predicitions and Betting Tips
The Artemio Franchi is the stage for this Serie A affair on Friday featuring Fiorentina and Sampdoria. Both sides will be keen on getting back to winning ways following results last time out. The away side, however, is still in search of their first win of the season. Who comes out on top at the end of 90 minutes?
This will be the 30th meeting between these two sides with the Firenze-based outfit winning twice as many games as their opponents in those games. Fiorentina comfortably won both legs last season between these two sides. They were most dominant in the last meeting as they ran out 5-1 winners away from home. Will they be able to replicate that same performance as they head into Friday's game?
Fiorentina keen on getting back to winning ways
Iachini's troops entertained Torino on the opening weekend to kick off their 2020/21 Serie A campaign. Having registered a narrow 1-0 win on the day, they were faced with a tough trip to San Siro to take on Internazionale the following weekend.
The Firenze-based outfit travelled to Milan with the sole aim of registering their second consecutive win of the season. However, they were struck by a late Inter rally as the home side ran out 4-3 winners to get off to the best possible start to the new season.
Sampdoria in deep waters
Sampdoria was faced with an unlucky draft of the opening games given that they had to face the defending champions. Having lost that game 3-0, they entertained newly promoted Benevento, bidding to register their first win of the season. Just like their Friday's opponents, they were also on the wrong end of another high-scoring game, conceding the deciding goal in the dying minutes of the game. Now, they're looking at a third straight defeat as they head to Florence. Will they manage their first win of the season?

Having lost it late last time out, both sides will be keen on not making the same errors they made last weekend. As a result, we don't expect this one to be as high-scoring as their previous games. However, we believe the home side nicks this one at the end of the day.
