📰 Team News: Sampdoria

Leonardo Benedetti (muscular problems), Samuele Perisan (muscular problems), Gennaro Tutino (Broken ankle) and Simone Romagnoli (Achilles tendon surgery) won’t be playing for Sampdoria boss Leonardo Semplici.

It’s our opinion that i Blucerchiati will possibly use a 3-4-2-1 system for the game, utilising Alessio Cragno, Marco Curto, Davide Veroli, A. Pio Riccio, Lorenzo Venuti, Melle Meulensteen, Gerard Yepes, Pietro Beruatto, Rémi Oudin, M'Baye Niang and Giuseppe Sibilli.

🗞️ Team News: Sassuolo

It’s our belief that Sassuolo appear most likely to elect for a 4-1-4-1 formation by sending out Horatiu Moldovan, Jeremy Toljan, Matteo Lovato, Tarik Muharemovic, Josh Doig, Andrea Ghion, Domenico Berardi, Edoardo Iannoni, Daniel Boloca, Armand Lauriente and Samuele Mulattieri.

🧠 Prediction

We feel that Sampdoria will have their work cut out to see themselves scoring against this Sassuolo team who should be able to grind out a win.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very even contest with a 0-1 winning score for Sassuolo at the end of the 90.

Let’s see how it plays out.
