Lost 1–4 away at Avellino · Oct 9
That's how they've played so far. Where the model has Sampdoria finishing in May, and the odds on going down, come with a free account.
What the numbers say
Season to date, measured against the rest of the division.
Attack
Wasteful, not toothless
Scoring about 38% below what their shot volume supports. Finishing that far below the run rate usually corrects.
0.62
goals per expected
Attack
They run at people
5th in the division for completed dribbles. A side that goes past defenders rather than around them.
36
dribbles
Defence
Leaking goals
13 conceded in 6, 2.17 a game. No attack fixes that on its own.
13
conceded
Defence
Cutting things out early
5th for interceptions without living on their clearances. That is defending before the danger, not during it.
42
interceptions
Overall
They keep hold of it
Dispossessed fewer times than almost anyone in the division.
