Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Stadio Giovanni Zini will be the center of attention when Cremonese and Sampdoria go head to head in the Serie B round 4. Cremonese quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Bari, with the team beating Ternana thanks to Massimo Coda’s goal and, no doubt, the experienced forward should keep his place in the starting XI. Defender Luca Ravanelli serves a one-game ban, while both Cedric Gondo and Maissa Codou Ndiaye are out of contention with injuries.
La Samp, meanwhile, aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Pisa and Venezia, but given their difficulties at the back, we predict that Le Tigri are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s clash. Midfielder Leonardo Benedetti misses out with a knee injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away team. In their last face-off in the Italian second tier Cremonese defeated Sampdoria 3-2.
