Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Lecco’s pride will be at stake when they take on Sampdoria in the Serie B round 36. The rock-bottom side failed to secure the Serie B survival, meaning that they have little to play for in the season finale. All Roberto Inglese, Marcin Listowski, Giacomo Beretta, and Eugenio Lamanna are injured for the hosts, who suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to Parma at the weekend.
La Samp, on the other hand, are eager to stay in the playoffs berth. As Andrea Pirlo’s men will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways, away win should be considered this time out. Experienced forward Fabio Borini should keep his place in the starting XI after getting his name on the scoresheet in a 1-1 draw with Como, whilst all Kristoffer Askildsen, Manuel De Luca, and Alex Ferrari remain in the recovery room.
