Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Luigi Ferraris will host Sunday’s football game between Sampdoria and Roma, the two teams who were beaten by Sassuolo and Cagliari respectively at the weekend. La Samp are 13 points behind the Europa Conference League berth ahead of Matchday 34, meaning that they have little to play for in the season finale. Since all Fabio Quagliarella, Gaston Ramirez, and Ernesto Torregrossa are sidelined with injuries, we do not believe that home win should be considered.
The Romans, on the other hand, are eager to regain their spot in top six, and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Ibanez returns from suspension, while all Mirante, Zaniolo, and Pedro are likely to miss the match with injuries. In the first half of the season Roma defeated Sampdoria thanks to Edin Dzeko’s second-half goal.
