Our prediction for this Serie A match:
After suffering a heavy 3-0 loss to Bologna before the World Cup break, Sassuolo will look to get back on course in the Serie A when they face Sampdoria on Wednesday. The Neroverdi are eager to put an end to their four-game winless run, and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Midfielder Maxime Lopez is back from suspension, but he is struggling with a muscular problem.
Mert Muldur will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. La Samp, on the other hand, are on a four-game losing run in the Serie A, and given their shaky defence, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Gambia international Omar Colley returns from suspension, while all Fabio Quagliarella, Harry Winks, Manuel De Luca, and Ignacio Pussetto are sidelined with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Domenico Berardi):
Once one of the most promising young players in Serie A, Domenico Berardi is the Italian footballer that plays for Sassuolo and the Italy national team. Born in Cairati, Calabria, the forward begun his professional career back in 2012, when he helped the Neroverdi win Serie B and play in Serie A next season and was named as the best player of the competition, only 18 years of age.
He made his first appearance for the Italy U19 national team in the same season. His excellent performances draw the attention of Juventus and the Old Lady confirmed in the beginning of the Season 2013/14 that Domenico Berardi joined the club on a co-ownership deal.
