Sassuolo
Match Time & Date:

18:30
Prediction: 2-1
Sampdoria
After beating Verona in the “City of Love” in their opener, Sassuolo will be aiming to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Sampdoria on Matchday 2. The Neroverdi kicked off the new Serie A campaign in style, but they should not stop now. Sassuolo are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, and seeing that all Bourabia, Obiang, and Berardi are eyeing return to the squad, home win should be considered.
La Samp, on the other hand, are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but they often struggle on the travels. Given Sassuolo’s display in the triumph over Verona, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Genoa empty-handed. In their last meeting at the venue Sassuolo defeated Sampdoria 1-0, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself. Midfielder Fabio Depaoli should be fit for Sunday’s showdown.
