Prediction: 1-0
Reggiana
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris when Sampdoria take on Reggiana in their first home game of the season. La Samp kicked off the new Serie B campaign with a 2-2 draw with Frosinone, but they are surely capable of beating Reggiana in Genoa. A man to watch in the home team will be summer signing Massimo Coda, who opened his goal-scoring account at the weekend.
The visitors, on the other hand, shared the spoils with Mantova in their season opener, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Sampdoria, who are determined to return to Serie A. In their last meeting in Christopher Columbus’ hometown Sampdoria defeated Reggiana 1-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Natan Girma should miss out for the visiting team as the midfielder has yet to recover from a knee surgery.
