Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Sampdoria and Monza go head to head at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in what will be their first ever meeting in the Serie A. La Samp have yet to find their form in the new campaign, with the team sitting in the ultimate position ahead of Sunday’s clash. Nonetheless, we do not believe that the rock-bottom side will have a better chance than this to get back on course. Winks, De Luca, and Trimboli should be the only absentees in the home side.
The newcomers, on the other hand, did well to shock Juventus in their last league match, but keep in mind that the Bianconeri are hit by injuries. Monza are not regarded as good travellers, and we do not believe that they are going to spoil Sampdoria’s party in Genoa. As for the away team, both Marco D’Alessandro and Andrea Ranocchia are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Jeison Murillo):
Jeison Murillo is a 24-year-old Colombian defender who plays for Inter Milan in Serie A. The centre back started in the youth teams of Deportivo Cali but made his senior professional bow with Udinese and Granada, as part of the partnership agreement between the clubs.
He moved on a permanent basis to Granada in 2011 but spent most of his time on loans at fellow Spanish league clubs Cadiz and Las Palmas. His talent was there for everyone to see and soon he would end up moving to Inter Milan in 2015. Murillo made his international debut for Colombia in 2014.
He was also a member of the 2015 Copa America squad and scored his solitary goal in national colors against Brazil. He would go on to win the “Best Young Player” of the tournament. Murillo is a hard-tackling no-nonsense centre back and is regarded as a ball-playing defender, which is almost a rarity in world football.
