📰 Team News: Sampdoria

Sebastian Giovinco (Calf Injury), Stefano Sensi (Tear in the abductor muscle) and Manolo Gabbiadini (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be available for Sampdoria gaffer Marco Giampaolo.

In our view, i Blucerchiati look set to line up in a 4-1-4-1 system for the game, handing starts to Emil Audero, Bartosz Bereszynski, Alex Ferrari, Omar Colley, Tommaso Augello, Ronaldo Vieira, Antonio Candreva, Tomas Rincon, Morten Thorsby, Abdelhamid Sabiri and Francesco Caputo.

Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Italiano has to currently contend with reduced team options. Riccardo Sottil (Muscle Fatigue) and Gaetano Castrovilli (Knee Surgery) can’t be considered. Sofyan Amrabat is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

It’s our belief that La Viola will likely make use of a 4-3-3 formation using Pietro Terracciano, Lorenzo Venuti, Nikola Milenkovic, Igor, Cristiano Biraghi, Giacomo Bonaventura, Lucas Torreira, Alfred Duncan, Jonathan Ikone, Arthur Cabral and Nicolas Gonzalez.
