Atalanta vs. Sampdoria

Atalanta has an attacking offense and has won five in a row, but only two of those were by more than one goal. Sampdoria is in town and is playing well off a pair of victories over Lecce (2-1) and SPAL (3-0). And in their last five games, they have two wins and didn't lose by more than one goal in the losses. Sampdoria is seven points clear of the bottom three, meaning they're on track to secure a Serie-A survival. They've also split their last four road games, and the two losses were by 2-1 scores to third-ranked Inter Milan and at fifth-ranked Roma. 10 of the last 11 meetings between these rivals have been decided by one goal, and the only exception was a 3-1 win by Sampdoria. Back Sampdoria on the Asian Handicap.
