Inter vs Sampdoria Odds maker breakdown: The Storyline
Inter is off to a solid start as they are going for their fifth straight Serie A title, and they’ve won their first two away games by a combined score of 6-1. Sampdoria finished a disappointing 13th last year after challenging for a Champions League in the previous season, but they sit just one point behind Inter and Juventus, who are tied for first.
Inter vs Sampdoria odds maker breakdown: Offense
Inter’s attack is essentially all new, but the signings are paying off early. Diego Milito and Samuel E’to have combined for eight of Inter’s 12 goals while Wesley Sneijder is a threat from his attacking midfield role. This trio is making everyone forget all about Zlatan Ibrahimovich. Antonio Cassano may be out for revenge as Inter had a chance to sign the playmaking forward, but instead with Sneijder. Cassano has responded by being the engine of Sampdoria as he tied for the league lead in assists. Cassano opens up the field for players like Daniele Mannini and Giampaolo Pazzini, and no doubt, he’ll be the focus of Inter’s attentions. Betting Edge: Inter
Inter vs Sampdoria odds maker breakdown: Defense
As usual, Inter has a solid back four marshaled by keeper Julio Cesar, who is heading into the prime of his career at 30 years old. Inter also has a lot of depth at the back, which boosts their online betting odds across the board as they can afford to keep players fresh. Sampdoria have allowed five goals in five games, and their back four as well as keeper Luca Castellazzi have played all five games, which allows them to get into a rhythm. A clean sheet would be great for confidence, though, especially against a team like Inter. Betting Edge: Draw
Inter vs Sampdoria odds maker breakdown: Notable Injuries
Inter midfielder Thiago Motta (thigh) will be out for at least a month, and defender Marco Materazzi (leg) may also miss this match. For Sampdoria, their defensive depth may be tested as Angelo Palombo (shoulder) could miss the clash, but he played last week against former club Fiorentina. Midfielder Franco Semioli (shoulder) is definitely out. Betting Edge: Draw
Inter vs Sampdoria odds maker breakdown: Totals
Seven of the last 10 meetings between these two have gone under the posted total, but this could be different as both rank in the top three in terms of goals scored. Also, the injuries suffered too both teams are most defensive, which hurts at the back. Betting Edge: OVER 2.5
Inter vs Sampdoria odds betting breakdown: Outlook and Pick
This should be an exciting match with all the attacking talent on display, and Sampdoria matches up better with Inter at home due to their fans: three of their last five meetings at Sampdoria have ended in draws. This will be another one, but with more goals scored than usual, as Cassano has something to prove, but Inter’s quality will allow them to snatch a point. TODD’S PICK: Draw +220
