Our prediction for this Serie B match:
In-form Sampdoria will look to stay in the playoffs berth when they take on Sudtirol on Matchday 33. La Samp are eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s encounter. As Andrea Pirlo’s men rolled over Ternana 4-1 in their last home game, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. Both Cristiano Piccini and Alex Ferrari are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
I Biancorossi, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Cremonese, losing to Como, while sharing the spoils with Parma. Sudtirol failed to win the previous four away games in the Italian second tier, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Andrea Pirlo’s men.
