Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Sunday’s football game between Cesena and Sampdoria will bring down the curtain on day 9 of the new Serie B campaign. Cesena aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Pisa and the fact that they defeated Mantova 4-2 in their last home game is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Sampdoria. Experienced defender Daniele Donnarumma is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while fellow defender Marco Curto is banned for the match.
La Samp, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Juve Stabia. As the visitors will go for a win in Sunday’s clash as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. You should know that the two teams played out a 1-1 draw in their last meeting at Stadio Dino Manuzzi. Both Romagnoli and Vieira miss out with injuries, while Sampdoria forward Estanis Pedrola faces race against the clock to be fit for Sunday’s encounter.
