Coppa Italia picks for Torino vs. Sampdoria

Before tuning into Thursday's match, you need to see the Sampdoria vs. Torino picks from sports gambling expert John Eimer. Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge about leagues and players most people don't know exist, including most oddsmakers. He understands that oddsmakers don't focus on obscure leagues, so Jon has become obsessed with learning everything possible about smaller leagues. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch.

For Torino vs. Sampdoria, Eimer is backing more than 2.5 goals will be scored at -120 odds. Two of Torino's last three games have gone over 2.5 combined goals, while the last four matches for Sampdoria have eclipsed that number. Additionally, these sides played in Matchweek 11 of this year's Serie A schedule, when three total goals were scored, all by Torino.

Thursday's game will take place at Sampdoria's home grounds. That's important because the team dictates the style of play on its home field. Sampdoria's last eight home games have all had at least three total goals scored, and six of those had at least four goals scored. Eimer recognizes the free-flowing nature of Sampdoria at home and sees plenty of goals on Thursday.

"Sampdoria matches tend to be very goal heavy affairs, especially in recent matchups," Eimer told SportsLine. "Sampdoria have conceded a total of 33 goals so far this season while scoring 25 goals themselves over 17 matches. A good portion of these have been thanks to veteran midfielder, Antonio Candreva, who has found six goals and five assists so far in Serie A."
