The Serie B match at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Monday will see hosts Sampdoria welcome Ascoli. Let’s check on the predicted line ups and player availability.
Sampdoria will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 1-3 Serie B victory versus Feralpisalò. We think that i Blucerchiati will possibly go for a 3-1-4-2 system for this game, utilising Filip Stankovic, Giovanni Leoni, Daniele Ghilardi, Facundo González, Gerard Yepes, Petar Stojanovic, Pajtim Kasami, Ebrima Darboe, Antonio Barreca, Valerio Verre and Manuel De Luca.
Alex Ferrari, Andrea Conti, Ronaldo Vieira, Matteo Ricci, Nicola Murru, Estanis Pedrola and Leonardo Benedetti aren’t available for Sampdoria manager Andrea Pirlo.
How Sampdoria could look to take on Ascoli
In their last game, Ascoli drew 0-0 in the Serie B tie with Reggiana. It’s our belief that Bianconeri might begin the game with a 3-5-2 system, choosing Devis Vásquez, Sauli Vaisanen, Giuseppe Bellusci, Valerio Mantovani, Marcello Falzerano, Samuel Giovane, Tommaso Milanese, Luca Valzania, Karim Zedadka, Pablo Rodríguez and Simone D'Uffizi.
Ascoli boss Fabrizio Castori has a number of players out of action. Luka Bogdan (Knee surgery), Patrizio Masini (Muscle injury), Riccardo Gagliolo (Calf problems), Ilija Nestorovski (Calf injury) and Erdis Kraja (Cruciate ligament tear) are not ready for selection. The suspended players who are serving a ban for this game are Emiliano Viviano and Francesco Di Tacchio.
