Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Sampdoria and Lazio square off against each other in the Serie A round 16 in what is expected to be an interesting match. La Samp aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Fiorentina, with the team eyeing their third home win of the process. Colley is banned for the hosts, while all Damsgaard, Vieira, and Torregrossa should miss out with injuries. The Biancocelesti, on the other hand, played out a thrilling 4-4 draw with Udinese in their last league fixtures.
The capital club look sharp in front of goal, and seeing that Sampdoria have turned their stadium into a real fortress, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Patric (suspension) should be the only absentee in the away team this time out. 13 goals in total have been netted in the previous four meetings between the two teams.

Vasco Regini started his senior career at Cesena, but he made no more than ten appearances for the club (league) from 2007 to 2009. In 2009 he moved to Sampdoria and after ending his loan spells with the likes of Foggia and Empoli he returned to Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
Vasco Regini played for Napoli on loan as well, but he made only one appearance for the Partenopei in the Italian elite division. The Italian footballer, who was born in Cesena on September 9, 1990, has established himself as first-team regular at Sampdoria and you should know that he played 34 games for La Samp in the 2016/2017 Serie A campaign.
