Prediction: 2-2
Sampdoria
Sparkles will be flying when Salernitana and Sampdoria face each other in the Serie B derby at Stadio Arechi. I Granata aim to recover from a 3-2 loss to Sudtirol and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against La Samp. Dutch forward Jayden Braaf definitely deserves a spot in the starting XI following a couple of splendid performances, while both Andres Sfait and Niccolo Guccione remain in the recovery room.
Andrea Pirlo’s men, on the other hand, are determined to register their first triumph of the season. As Sampdoria will go for a win in Tuesday’s clash as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Midfielder Nikolas Ioannou is banned for the match, while forward Estanis Pedrola is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. Pirlo should stick to the 3-5-2 formation.
