🗞️ Team News: Carrarese

Stefano Mazzini (Shoulder injury) and Marco Bleve (Muscle injury) won’t be available for Carrarese boss Antonio Calabro.

We think that Gialloazzurri should kick off with a 3-4-2-1 formation with Vincenzo Fiorillo, Marco Imperiale, Julián Illanes, Gabriele Guarino, Simone Zanon, Nicolás Schiavi, Emanuele Zuelli, Manuel Cicconi, Mattia Finotto, Luigi Cherubini and Ernesto Torregrossa.

📰 Team News: Sampdoria

Sampdoria manager Alberico Evani has a number of players out of action. Davide Veroli (Broken jaw), Samuele Perisan (muscular problems), Nikolas Ioannou (Calf muscle tear), Gennaro Tutino (Broken ankle) and Simone Romagnoli (Achilles tendon surgery) will not be playing here.

There’s a good chance that i Blucerchiati will likely play in a 3-4-2-1 formation by sending out Alessio Cragno, Lorenzo Venuti, Giorgio Altare, Marco Curto, Leonardo Benedetti, Matteo Ricci, Ronaldo Vieira, Pietro Beruatto, Fabio Depaoli, Rémi Oudin and Massimo Coda.

✨ Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Sampdoria and Carrarese should play out a closely-fought contest here.

It could well end in a draw. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a tight encounter with a 1-1 draw at the end of the 90 minutes.
