Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Following a 3-0 loss at Torino, Sampdoria will look to give fans some cheer when they host Bologna to their Stadio Luigi Ferraris on day 12 of the new Serie A campaign. La Samp aim to escape the danger zone, and they are surely capable of matching the Rossoblu in front of home fans. Adrien Silva is sidelined through suspension, while all Verre, Vieira, and Damsgaard miss out with injuries.
Bologna did well to beat Cagliari 2-0 on home soil at the weekend, but given their poor away record in the 2021/2022 Serie A campaign, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Sampdoria. Sinisa Mihajlovic can’t count on the likes of Bonifazi, Schouten, Kingsley, and Viola for Sunday’s clash, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Genoa.
