Sampdoria v Torino FC Betting Tips [17 December 2021]

Sampdoria and Torino play each other in a round two clash in the Coppa Italia at the Luigi Ferraris. Sampdoria come into the tie after beating Alessandria in the previous round with a 3-2 scoreline while Torino had to wait for a penalty shoot-out to emerge victors after a goalless period of regulation and extra time. Sampdoria beat Genoa 3-1 in an away game before their meeting with fellow Serie A side Torino in the Coppa Italia second round. Sampdoria have had over 2.5 goals in seven out of their last eight matches and also have no clean sheet in their last four fixtures.

Torino also are in a similar run of form prior to their cup game with Sampdoria. They do come with a 2-1 home win over Bologna in Serie A. However, Torino also have been conceding a lot of goals off-late and have had over 2.5 goals in four out of their last seven matches. Torino have no clean sheets in their last six matches across all competitions and need to be defensively solid at the back to overcome Sampdoria. Interestingly, three out of the four games between the two sides have had over 2.5 goals in the past.

The two teams are evenly matched as far as the league standings are concerned and have both been inconsistent in terms of defending against the opposition. We are going for over 2.5 goals in this cup tie.
