Sampdoria vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting tips
Catcher Sampdoria dismissed coach Di Francesco and welcomed Claudio Ranieri. The opponent of Sampdoria this weekend happens to be AS Roma, where this trainer change took place last year.
Sampdoria:
The number nine of last season Sampdoria had a very weak competition start. Only three points were taken in seven games, with the mention that several games were played against top teams. There was lost from Lazio (0-3), Napoli (2-0) and Inter (1-3). Given that the team from Genoa also did not play well against clubs from the right row (4-1 out at Sassuolo and 2-0 out at Verona), the curtain fell for trainer Eusebio Di Francesco. Earlier this year, the coach was fired at AS Roma for disappointing results, after which Claudio Ranieri temporarily succeeded him. The Roman is also his successor this time, he signed a contract until 2021 with Sampdoria. For Ranieri, it is already the eleventh period in the service of an Italian club.
The new coach can start his new adventure with an almost fit selection. Gonzalo Maroni is back after having missed seven games due to an ankle injury and Karol Linetty also seems to be fit on time.
AS Roma:
AS Roma managed to book three wins in mid-September in one week’s time and seemed to be on the right track under the new trainer Paulo Fonseca. Especially in their own home, the Romans managed to convince with a 4-2 victory over Sassuolo and a 4-0 win against Istanbul Basaksehir. Since it suffered the first defeat of the season (0-2 against Atalanta) things have been going worse in Rome. A moderate match at Lecce was only narrowly won (0-1), after which draw was played against Wolfsberger and Cagliari. In these last two games the biggest chances were for the Giallorossi but they disappointed in the completion.
Coach Fonseca probably has to miss quite a few players this weekend. Dzeko, for example, will probably be missing because he sustained a jawbone fracture against Cagliari and his Under, Mkhitaryan and Perotti are still uncertain due to muscle injuries. In addition, the coach himself will not take a seat along the sidelines. He was suspended for two matches after he raged against the referee during the match against Cagliari, eventually this suspension was shortened to one match.
