Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Sampdoria play host to Juve Stabia at their Stadio Luigi Ferraris, aiming for a third consecutive win in Serie B after back-to-back triumphs over Sudtirol and Modena. La Samp are starting to show their strength under new management, and even though defender Simone Romagnoli suffered an injury in the last league match, their home form remains imposing. Sampdoria’s solid attack and defensive organization make them a tough opponent at home ground, and they’ll be confident of picking up all three points from Friday's clash.
Juve Stabia, on the other hand, have been struggling on the road of late. Their 3-0 defeat to Modena in their last away match highlighted their defensive frailties, and with Marco Bellich sidelined through injury and both Andreoni and Morachioli doubtful, they face yet another uphill task in Genoa. Given Sampdoria’s momentum and Juve Stabia’s poor travelling form, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the promotion hopefuls.
