Sampdoria vs Crotone Prediction & Betting tips
Of the three dead-painted degradation candidates, Crotone currently has the most chance to jump the dance. The first season at the highest level of this relatively small club seemed to turn out to be a deception for a long time, but recently confidence gained a huge boost when results were posted. It is another long way to the safe seventeenth place, but Davide Nicola’s men are hoping to take a new step on Sunday in the match against Sampdoria.
Sampdoria :
Sampdoria soon lost its connection to the subtop very fast this season, and the Genoa formation soon lost its chance to compete for participation in the Europa League. The formation of Marco Giampaolo is really good for the whole season and takes points when it’s time to get it. As a result, Sampdoria is currently recovering in a tenth place and the hole with number eleven Udinese of five points seems to be big enough to keep that club away. The ninth position seems to be the most achievable this season, but then it has to be won by teams like Crotone. In February, Sampdoria managed to stay unbeaten seven games, but the current form is slightly less impressive. Genoa derby was still won and the Internazionale extermination also won a surprising victory, but against Giassaolo’s team, Sampuolo (2-1 loss) and Fiorentina (2-2 for his own public) failed to To impress. The strength of Crotone now seems to be a good chance of returning with a victory, but then Giampaolo must show his men to motivate. The season has already been set for Sampdoria and therefore the coach will have to appeal to the ambition of his players.
Giampaolo will not be able to appeal to Karol Linetty this week. The 22-year-old Polish midfielder collected last week is his fifth yellow card of the season and therefore he will have to shoot this duel. The biggest disappointment, however, is the lack of Luis Muriel. The Colombian attacker recently returned injured from an interland and after that match he had to shoot all the duels because of his injury. Muriel is already good for ten goals this season and his attacking qualities will be missed.
Probable setup Sampdoria
Viviano, Bereszynski, Silvestre, Skriniar, Regini, Barreto, Torreira, Praet, Fernandes, Quagliarella, Schick
Crotone :
The lack of goals broke Crotone soon this season and Nicola’s team immediately joined co-degradation candidates like Palermo and Pescara. The hole with the seventeenth place seemed to be unbridgeable for a long time, but a series of three impressive games has revived the promise of the PhD student. It all began with a crucial victory at Chievo Verona and not much later, that performance was repeated by treating Internazionale on a 2-1 victory. Last week, Crotone traveled to Turin for the confrontation with Turin and once again the team managed to prevent defeat: 1-1. Crotone thus scored seven points from the last three games, which means Empoli’s hole has now been reduced to five points.
Moreover, the lack of goals remains an aspect to be worked on. Crotone produces on average less than one goal per game, making it difficult to win matches. In recent weeks, however, the form was present and, thanks to Diego Falcinelli’s performance, Crotone managed to get the necessary points together. Falcinelli is good for almost half of all hits and his attacking pulses could be the key to success during the last weeks of the season.
Nicola has the good fortune this week not to take into account important injuries, and Crotone will appear on Sunday with the strongest possible set-up. In addition, this does not mean that Crotone will hold Sampdoria just as much as the balance is still dramatic. For example, the degradation candidate only won an outing match and produced sixteen out of ten but only ten goals.
Probable setup Crotone
Cordaz, Rosi, Ceccherini, Ferrari, Martella, Rhodos, Barberis, Crispy, Stoian, Trotta, Falcinelli
