The hosts home games are averaging 3.5 goals per game, with eight of their 10 home games seeing three or more goals.
Cagliari’s away league games are witnessing an average of 2.9 goals.
The last 10 meetings between these two sides are seeing an average of 3.3 goals per game.
Defences under the spotlight

The winter break was unfortunately timed for hosts Sampdoria who entered that period unbeaten in six of their previous eight games, although they managed to keep just a solitary clean sheet across those matches. That clean sheet came against strugglers Salernitana which just emphasises the need for improvement in their backline. The hosts enter this one off the back of two consecutive draws, but they haven’t drawn three in a row since 2014, which would suggest a win, either way, is likely.

On the flip side, the winter break could not have come at a better time for visitors Cagliari who sit firmly in the relegation zone and six points from safety. They are winless across their last 11 top-flight fixtures and have so far failed to secure victory when coming into a game as betting outsiders. Their situation looks dire and has shown no signs of improving, they’ve conceded at least twice in eight of their last nine Serie A away games and it looks unlikely that they’ll secure just their second victory of the season here.

Goals the order of the day

These two have conceded a combined 75 goals this season and both defences are likely to gift up chances here. We think there will be at least three goals in the game but we would favour the hosts to get the win here.

聚光灯下的防御

对于东道主桑普多利亚来说，冬季假期的时间很不幸，他们在之前的8场比赛中有6场保持不败，尽管他们在这些比赛中只保持了一场不失球。那个不失球是对萨勒尼塔纳的，这强调了他们后防线需要改进。东道主在这场比赛中已经连续两场平局，但他们自2014年以来就没有连续三场平局，这意味着无论哪种情况，他们都有可能获胜。

另一方面，对于身处降级区、离安全区仅差6分的卡利亚里来说，冬季假期的到来可谓是再好不过了。在过去的11场顶级联赛中，他们都没有赢过，而且到目前为止，他们也没有在一场比赛中获得胜利。他们的情况看起来很糟糕，而且没有任何改善的迹象，他们在过去的9场意甲客场比赛中至少有8场比赛失球2次，看起来他们不太可能在这里获得本赛季的第2场胜利。

目标是一天的顺序

这两支球队本赛季总共丢了75个球，这两支球队的防守都有可能错失良机。我们认为这场比赛至少会有3个进球，但我们更希望东道主能在这场比赛中获胜。
