Relegation to Serie C is the threat hanging around this fixture as Salernitana and Sampdoria battle it out in the Serie B relegation playoff. This second leg match will be played in Salerno between the Maroons and I Blucerchiati on Sunday, where the visitors hold a 2-0 lead from the first leg. Our prediction for this match is under 2.5 goals.

These sides finished just above the bottom two teams in the regular season, leaving them as contenders for this playoff. The first leg was won 2-0 by Sampdoria with goals in each half. Both teams also finished with ten men, each receiving one red card.

That result continued the poor recent run for Salernitana, who have been alternating wins and losses in their last six matches. The last five of these games have either ended 1-0 or 2-0, which means there could be another low-scoring affair on the cards.

Home fans will hope Salernitana can continue their recent run at this venue, as six wins out of the last eight fixtures here suggest they can be a tough nut.

Sampdoria’s struggles on the road only make it worse for the visitors, as they haven’t won in their last 15 trips in all competitions (D9, L6). Three of those last four trips also saw them fail to score, and therein lies their trouble.
