Prediction: 1-1
Cagliari
After sharing the spoils with Genoa in the Derby della Lanterna, Sampdoria will be looking to return to winning ways in the Serie A when they take on Cagliari on Matchday 26. La Samp aim to put an end to their three-game winless run, and you should bear in mind that they are eyeing their sixth home win of the process. Torregosa remains on the sidelines through injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Bologna, and they managed to get one, with the team escaping the relegation zone. Cagliari need to keep on improving their game if they are to secure the Serie A survival, but beating Sampdoria in Genoa is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. Greece defender Lykogiannis returns from suspension for the visitors.
