📰 Team News: Sampdoria

It’s our opinion that i Blucerchiati may well line up in a 3-5-2 system for the game, utilising Filip Stankovic, Giovanni Leoni, Daniele Ghilardi, Nicola Murru, Petar Stojanovic, Pajtim Kasami, Gerard Yepes, Ebrima Darboe, Antonio Barreca, Agustín Álvarez and Fabio Borini.

📋 Team News: Como

Owing to a completely healthy squad to pick from, the Como boss Osian Roberts has no fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this game.

We are inclined to think that I Lariani appear most likely to elect for a 4-4-2 system by sending out Adrian Semper, Alessio Iovine, Edoardo Goldaniga, Federico Barba, Marco Sala, Gabriel Strefezza, Alessandro Bellemo, Matthias Braunöder, Lucas Da Cunha, Patrick Cutrone and A. Gabrielloni.

💡 Prediction

We feel that Sampdoria might have a difficult job to see themselves scoring against this Como team who we think might be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.

We therefore see a narrow 0-1 advantage for Como at the end of the match.

There should be little in it.
