Prediction: 2-1
Sampdoria
Gewiss Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Atlanta and Sampdoria, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Orobici have been scoring goals for fun of late, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against La Samp. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be in-form attacker Ademola Lookman, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
Both Davide Zappacosta and Duvan Zapata are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. Dejan Stankovic’s men, on the other hand, extended their losing run to three games against Udinese, and given their difficulties in front of goal, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. Fit-again veteran Fabio Quagliarella is pushing for a rare start, whilst Ignacio Pussetto remains on the sidelines with injury.
Highlighted Player (Duvan Zapata):
Duvan Zapata was born in Cali, Colombia on 1 April, 1991. The 186-cm-tall attacker started his youth career at America de Cali, playing for the club between 2004 and 2008. In 2008 he made his debut for the first team and three years later he scored his first hat-trick for the Colombian outfit, in a 3-2 win over Deportivo Pereira.
In 2011 he signed a loan deal with Estudiantes and he found the net for the Argentine team on his debut against Belgrano. After scoring 11 goals in 37 appearances for Estudiantes, the Colombian striker joined Napoli in 2013, but he failed to establish himself as a first-choice attacker.
On 22 July, 2015 Zapata joined fellow Serie A team Udinese on loan and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 24 league appearances for the Zebrette. Duvan Zapata has 5 caps for Colombia U20 team, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior side.
