Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Stadio Marco Druso will host Sunday’s Serie B game between Sudtirol and Sampdoria, the two teams who defeated Cremonese and Cosenza respectively at the weekend. Sudtirol did well to put an end to their five-game winless run and they are now on a quest to escape the relegation zone. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, while Silvio Merkaj remains doubtful and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
La Samp, on the other hand, gave fans some cheer at the weekend, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to secure a return to the Serie A. A man to watch in the away team will be experienced striker Fabio Borini, who scored a brace in the last league match, while all Lorenzo Malagrida, Nicola Murru, Petar Stojanovic, and Alex Ferrari remain in the recovery room. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Sampdoria footballers have regained a much-needed confidence.
