Mantova vs Sampdoria: match statistics
Mantova is in 17th place in the table with a record of 6-5-14, but at home they perform better than their position suggests, winning 33% of home matches and having a positive xG differential (1.8 vs 1.35). Sampdoria is in 12th place and is in clear form - in the last 5 matches they have averaged 2.2 points per match without a defeat (3 wins, 2 draws). However, away from home Sampdoria has very poor statistics - only 8% wins and 58% losses, averaging just 0.75 goals per match. Mantova has a possession advantage (63% at home) and more shots (16.58 vs 12.58), which could offset their current poor form (0.8 points in the last 5 matches). Considering Sampdoria's away difficulties and Mantova's home statistical advantage, alongside the visitors' good form, a draw seems the most likely outcome of this evenly matched encounter.
