Prediction: 1-2
Sassuolo
Sampdoria will be aiming to recover from a 2-1 loss to Sudtirol when they take on Sassuolo in the Serie B round 27 opener. La Samp have been producing fine displays at home of late, with the team beating both Cosenza and Modena at “Luigi Ferraris”, but they will have a mountain to climb against the league leaders. Alex Ferrari is banned for Friday’s clash as well as fellow defender Fabio Depaoli, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Sassuolo, on the other hand, aim to cement top position in the standings and given Sampdoria’s selection worries, there is a big value in betting on the away team. Bearing any fresh injury worries, head coach Fabio Grosso is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Brescia at the weekend. The former Italy international Fabio Grosso has a full squad to choose from.
