Our prediction for this Serie A match:
After sharing the spoils with Bologna on Dejan Stankovic’s debut as the new Sampdoria boss, La Samp will look to record their first win of the season when they take on Roma on Matchday 10. Stankovic’s compatriot Filip Djuricic should keep his place in the starting XI after finding the net in the last league match, while forward Manuel De Luca remains on the sidelines with a meniscus problem.
The Giallorossi, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 2-1 win over ten-man Lecce at the weekend, with the team retaining sixth position in the standings. Jose Mourinho’s men aim to climb to the Champions League berth, but seeing that key attacker Paulo Dybala suffered an injury at the weekend, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The likes of Zeki Celik, Rick Karsdorp, and Georginio Wijnaldum miss out with injuries as well.
Highlighted Player (Jeison Murillo):

Jeison Murillo is a 24-year-old Colombian defender who plays for Inter Milan in Serie A. The centre back started in the youth teams of Deportivo Cali but made his senior professional bow with Udinese and Granada, as part of the partnership agreement between the clubs.
He moved on a permanent basis to Granada in 2011 but spent most of his time on loans at fellow Spanish league clubs Cadiz and Las Palmas. His talent was there for everyone to see and soon he would end up moving to Inter Milan in 2015. Murillo made his international debut for Colombia in 2014.
He was also a member of the 2015 Copa America squad and scored his solitary goal in national colors against Brazil. He would go on to win the “Best Young Player” of the tournament. Murillo is a hard-tackling no-nonsense centre back and is regarded as a ball-playing defender, which is almost a rarity in world football.

AS Roma is a professional football club based in Rome. Roma were founded by a merger in 1927 and they play in the Italian Serie A. Roma’s fiercest rivals are Lazio and it has to be noted that both capital clubs play their home games at Stadio Olimpico.

The Giallorossi (The Yellow and Reds) have won three Serie A titles (1941/1942, 1982/1983, 2000/2001), while winning nine Coppa Italia trophies. The colour of Roma’s shirts is imperial purple with a golden yellow trim. A number of top-class footballers were part of Roma in the past, but Francesco Totti is undisputedly the club’s biggest legend.The Prince of Rom made his 601 appearances for Roma on 14 May, 2016 when the Giallorossi recorded a 3-1 win over Milan at Stadio San Siro.
