Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Sampdoria will look to put an end to their five-game winless run in the Serie B when they face Sudtirol on Matchday 6. La Samp are stuck at the bottom of the table with only two points on their account, but Saturday’s clash could be the turning point for the home side. Midfielder Stipe Vulikic is banned for the match, while forward Estanis Pedrola remains doubtful.
Federico Valente’s troops, on the other hand, aim to climb to the automatic promotion berth. Sudtirol looked sharp up front in a 3-1 win over Reggiana and seeing that Sampdoria are in need of points, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Defender Andrea Masiello remains on the sidelines with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team as Simone Davi has overcome his minor injury.
