Sampdoria have not been very prolific in front of goal either, having also scored seven goals in six games in 2021.Benevento have conceded 10 goals in their last three games and we expect them to concede at least a goal in this fixture too. Both sides will struggle to create chances in this fixture, and we expect it to end in a draw.Prediction: Benevento 1-1 SampdoriaAlso See: 10 highest-paid players in the Serie A this season (2020/21)
