Sampdoria Genoa's Home Fortress
Sampdoria Genoa, despite their struggles in Serie A Femminile, have shown a different face in Serie B, particularly at home. With three successive home wins, they have turned the Stadio Luigi Ferraris into a fortress. Their ability to score crucial goals late in matches, with 39% of their goals coming between the 76th and 90th minutes, has been pivotal in securing these victories. Massimo Coda, their top scorer with 8 goals, will be key in breaking down Virtus Entella's defense.
Virtus Entella's Away Woes
Virtus Entella, on the other hand, have been struggling on the road, with three consecutive away losses and no wins in their last 11 away matches. Their away record this season stands at a dismal 0-2-7, highlighting their inability to perform outside Chiavari. Despite having a promising squad with a mix of youth and experience, they have failed to find the net in 5 of their 9 away matches, which could be a significant disadvantage against a resilient Sampdoria side.
Head-to-Head Dynamics
Historically, Sampdoria Genoa have had the upper hand in recent encounters against Virtus Entella, winning 2 of their last 3 meetings. The average number of goals in these encounters is 3.33, suggesting a potentially high-scoring affair. However, given Virtus Entella's current form and Sampdoria's defensive solidity at home, a clean sheet for the hosts seems likely.
The Tactical Edge
Sampdoria's tactical discipline and home advantage give them the edge in this matchup. Virtus Entella's inability to win when trailing away (0% win rate when down 1-0) further tilts the scales in favor of Sampdoria. With both teams having conceded in their recent matches, the first goal will be crucial. However, given the current form and statistics, Sampdoria Genoa are poised to secure a home victory without conceding a goal.
