Sampdoria Genoa vs Ареццо Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 18 October 2026
📢 Sampdoria have made a very poor start to the new season and sit as low as 18th in the table after six rounds. The Genoa-based club have been unable to find their feet, dropping points regularly and already finding themselves in the relegation zone. Arezzo are doing somewhat better, sitting 12th, though they too lack consistency. Both sides are well off the pace at the top, but their situations differ considerably: Sampdoria need to climb out of the danger zone as quickly as possible, while Arezzo are looking to push towards the top ten.
Head-to-Head
The two teams have never faced each other in an official competition.

Sampdoria: a losing streak and an average of just 0.7 goals scored per match
In their last Serie B match on 9 October 2026, Sampdoria lost away to Avellino 1-4. They had more shots (12-9), took six corners to Avellino's none, and launched more attacks (120-79).
Sampdoria sit 18th in the table after six rounds, having picked up just four points. They are going through a serious slump, losing four of their last five matches with just one win. Over their last ten matches, they have won just twice, drawn twice and lost six times. Their main problem is a lack of goals - they are averaging just 0.7 per game, while conceding 1.6. That combination of ineffective attack and unreliable defence is making it very difficult to pick up points, and Sampdoria urgently need to end their poor run to climb out of the relegation zone.
Match Results: Sampdoria

Arezzo concede an average of two goals per match and continue to deliver inconsistent results.
Arezzo's home match against Cremonese 10 October 2026 ended goalless. It was Arezzo's last Serie B match: they had 62% possession and had 19 shots to their opponents' three, but each side managed two shots on target.
Arezzo have also made an unconvincing start to the season and sit 12th with seven points. The team have struggled for consistency, alternating between positive results and defeats and regularly dropping points. Compared to their upcoming opponents, Arezzo look slightly more assured, though their recent results have left a lot to be desired as well. The main problem remains the defence, which has conceded an average of two goals per game across ten matches. The attack has been considerably more modest, scoring just one goal per game, so the defensive errors are far from always being cancelled out.
Match Results: SS Arezzo
Corners Prediction
In 12 of their last 13 away matches, Arezzo have seen a total corners figure of under 8.5, suggesting the visitors tend to produce low numbers in this market on the road. Sampdoria at home show the opposite trend, however: in 7 of their last 8 home matches the total has gone over 8.5. These figures point in different directions, but Arezzo's run is the longer one, which is why a bet on Total Corners - Under 8.5 at odds of 2* looks justified.
Safe Bet
Sampdoria have not scored more than 2.5 goals at home in any of their last nine matches, averaging just 1.5 goals per game on their own turf this season. Recent home stats also point to a trend of low-scoring games. Sampdoria’s individual total under 2.5 goals is priced at 1.22*.

Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the three most likely outcomes are 1-1 (11.18%), 1-0 (10.54%) and 2-1 (9.38%). The first option - a draw with both teams scoring - has the highest probability, though the difference between the values is minimal. Overall, all three scenarios are close in probability.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Sampdoria are considered clear favourites here, but their current form raises serious doubts about their ability to win comfortably. Their defence is a particular concern - the Genoese side have conceded in seven consecutive matches, letting in an average of around 1.5 goals per game. Arezzo are not a prolific side, but against a Sampdoria defence in this kind of trouble they look capable of finding at least one opening. Our pick is Arezzo to Score: Yes.
