Tobias Gourlay is keeping the faith and ready to give Serie A one more chance this evening

Sampdoria v Genoa
Tuesday 17:30
(Live on Betfair Live)

Napoli 2 Sassuolo 0 in Serie A last night. Sassuolo's failure is our failure and, in common with most of Europe, we're feeling like Italy owes us one right now.

So we go again. Just like Sampdoria and Genoa must after Saturday's city derby was postponed because of heavy rain.

Three days later and the stats still apply. Sampdoria have scored in 10 of their first 11 home games - only second-placed Roma have been able to stop them.

At the other end, Sinisa Mihajlovic's men have managed just one clean sheet in seven - only 14th-placed Empoli failed to break through.

Genoa have troubled the onion bag in all of their last 10 away games.

In case you're worried that this isn't really an away game for them because they share the Stadio Luigi Ferraris with their neighbours, their scoring record home AND away is at least one goal in 17/18. (Only those aforementioned Romans could stop them.)

Eight of the Red and Blues' last 10 away games have delivered Over 2.5 Goals (6/8 anywhere).
