In a tightly contested Italian Serie B match at the Luigi Ferraris, Sampdoria edged out Salernitana with a 1-0 victory. Melle Meulensteen's goal in the first-half stoppage time proved to be the difference between the two sides. Salernitana dominated possession with 57.9% but failed to convert their advantage into goals, registering zero shots on target from 11 attempts. Sampdoria, despite having less possession (42.1%), were more clinical, converting one of their two shots on target. The match was physical, with Sampdoria committing 21 fouls and receiving four yellow cards, compared to Salernitana's 13 fouls and one yellow card. The AI-powered prediction of a Sampdoria win was accurate.
Sampdoria's victory breaks a spell of draws and a loss in their previous games, providing a confidence boost. Their next match is away against Juve Stabia, a team with a mixed recent form, including a recent win and draw against Salernitana. Salernitana, despite dominating possession, will need to improve their finishing in their upcoming game against Cittadella, especially after failing to register a shot on target. Salernitana's recent form is also mixed, with a couple of wins interrupted by a loss to Spezia and another one to Juve Stabia.
Considering their recent Serie B form, Sampdoria's victory could be attributed to a more effective use of their opportunities, contrasting with Salernitana's inability to capitalize on possession. Both teams deployed a 3-4-2-1 formation, suggesting a tactical parity that was ultimately decided by individual moments of brilliance, such as Meulensteen's goal. Their previous head-to-head games show that Salernitana won the last match, but Sampdoria won one match before, and one was a draw.
