📋 Team News: Sampdoria

Manolo Gabbiadini (Unknown Injury) and Felice D'Amico (Foot Injury) will be missing for Sampdoria boss Claudio Ranieri.

We think that i Blucerchiati may well use a 4-5-1 system for this game, handing starts to Emil Audero, Tommaso Augello, Omar Colley, Lorenzo Tonelli, Bartosz Bereszynski, Mehdi Léris, Albin Ekdal, Morten Thorsby, Jakub Jankto, Fabio Depaoli and Federico Bonazzoli.

🗞️ Team News: Benevento

Owing to a completely healthy group available to select from, Benevento boss Filippo Inzaghi has zero fitness worries to speak of before this game.

From our viewpoint, Benevento appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-4-2 system using Pier Graziano Gori, Christian Maggio, Luca Caldirola, Federico Barba, Francesco Rillo, Riccardo Improta, Pasquale Schiattarella, Perparim Hetemaj, Roberto Insigne, Marco Sau and Giuseppe Di Serio.

💡 Prediction

Here, we’re thinking that Benevento could well find it tough to put one past this Sampdoria team who should be able to grind out a win.

That’s why we have predicted a very competitive game with a 1-0 winning score for Sampdoria when the referee blows for full-time.

Should be a close one.
