Spal Ferrara:
The pressure on the Elf from the nearly 130,000 inhabitants city of Ferrara would certainly be greater in a defeat. Head coach Leonardo Semplici would probably not have to fear for his job in the case of this defeat. After all, he is mainly responsible that there are in Ferrara ever again Serie A football to see. Since December 2014, he has been in charge and led the club back from the amateur life back to the Beletage of Italian football.
Meanwhile, SPAL Ferrara plays the third season in series in the Italian Football House of Lords. Again and again, there have been periods in recent years when the results were far from satisfactory. For example, between matchday 10 and 27, the club celebrated only one victory last year! Coach Semplici was never discussed.
In the current season SPAL Ferrara shows two completely different faces. All seven previous points were retracted before home crowd. In the foreign is the table-19. a welcome guest. Not only were there five defeats, but SPAL Ferrara did not score a single goal abroad. During the week, the Semplici team lost 1-0 to AC Milan with a wonderful Suso free-kick.
The Spallini will continue to miss important players on Monday night due to injury. Marco d’Alessandro, Mohamed Fares, Federico di Francesco and Marko Jankovic are out of action. Once again, hopes rest on top striker Andrea Petagna (three goals, an assist) and veteran Sergio Floccari (37). The captain has scored six goals against Sampdoria Genoa in his career so far – but has never been hit in the SPAL jersey.

Sampdoria:
The first weeks and months of the new season show what a great job Marco Giampaolo has done for the Blucerchiati in the last three years. Three times in a row, he led the Ligurians to a top ten position in Serie A. In the summer of 2019, he was then committed by AC Milan, but there is already history.
Even with his former club from Genoa his successor is already unemployed again. Eusebio di Francesco had to retire after only eight games and was – as in the previous year in the Roma – replaced by Claudio Ranieri. The “Leicester Hero” is to lead Sampdoria Genoa back to safety. The quality has the team in any case, the proof of which provided Quagliarella & Co yet.
After ten matchdays, only five points are on the credit side. In the top five leagues in Europe only Bundesliga promoted SC Paderborn has an even worse record (four points). Above all, the previous season showed that the team needs at least a half-time to get into the game. In the first 45 minutes of a match Sampdoria Genoa has not yet scored a single goal.
Captain Fabio Quagliarella, last year’s top scorer, scored only one goal this season. For the first time since the season 2013/14 he starts with only one goal in November. However, SPAL Ferrara is a kind of favorite opponent for the veteran, because in the last four games he collected six points scorer (four goals, two assists). If SPAL Ferrara and Sampdoria get the tip on a Quagliarella goal, more than double the challenge.
