Prediction: 1-1
Cesena
Sampdoria play host to Cesena at their Stadio Luigi Ferraris on day 22 of the new Serie B campaign. La Samp failed to win the previous twelve games in all competitions, but they are surely capable of matching the Bianconeri in front of home fans. Nigeria midfielder Ebenezer Akinsanmiro is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a 1-1 draw with Brescia, with Ronaldo Vieira being ready to step up.
Cesena, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their five-game winless run in all competitions. As both sides will go for a win in Friday’s encounter, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Genoa. You should bear in mind that Sampdoria recorded a thrilling 5-3 win over Cesena earlier this term.
