Prediction: 1-2
Sampdoria
Salernitana will be aiming to bounce back from a 3-0 loss to Lazio when they take on Sampdoria at Stadio Arechi in the Serie A round 13. I Granata have been struggling at the back in the new Serie A campaign, with the team already conceding 26 goals in the process. Salernitana are desperate to escape the relegation zone, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Sampdoria.
All Ruggeri, Capezzi, and Coulibaly are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. La Samp, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-match losing run, and given Salernitana’s shaky defence, the visitors will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Adrien Silva is banned for the visitors, while both Vieira and Damsgaard are out of contention with injuries.
