Prediction: 1-0
Sampdoria
Roma will look to recover from a heart-breaking Serie A loss to Como when they take on Sampdoria in the Coppa Italia last 16. The Giallorossi have yet to find their best form under Claudio Ranieri, but Wednesday’s clash could turn their fortunes around. Fit-again Ukraine striker Artem Dovbyk is widely expected to return to the starting XI, as well as defender Gianluca Mancini, while Bryan Cristante remains in the recovery room.
La Samp, on the other hand, are on a seven-game winless run in the Italian second tier ahead of the trip to Rome. As Roma will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways, we are tempted to put our money on Paulo Dybala and Co. Speaking of the Serie B team, Cyprus defender Nikolas Ioannou has joined the likes of Ferrari, Bereszynski, Romagnoli, and Vieira in the recovery room.
Highlighted Team (AS Roma):
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 two local rivals face each other in the Derby della Capitale, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world of football.
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.
