Prediction: 1-1
Fiorentina
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Viterbese, Sampdoria take on Fiorentina at their Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in what is expected to be a close encounter. La Samp finished the 2017/2018 Serie A campaign in 10th position in the standings and, no doubt, they want to record a better result this term. Considering that they were producing fine performances in pre-season, we predict that Sampdoria are going to grab something from Sunday’s football match. Fiorentina, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a heavy 3-0 loss to Schalke in their last warm-up game and, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from the Sampdoria clash. Considering that Fiorentina produce much better displays at home than on the travels, share of spoils is on the horizon. You should know that both teams found the net in each of their last five meetings in the Serie A.
