Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Spezia
Match Time & Date:
17/09/2022
18:00
Prediction: 1-0
Sampdoria
Following a 1-0 loss to Napoli at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Spezia will look to escape the danger zone when they face Sampdoria on Saturday afternoon. The Bianconeri are on a five-game winless run, and they must be low on spirits ahead of the visit of La Samp. All Albin Ekdal, Daniele Verde, Daniel Maldini, and Kelvin Adou should miss out with injuries, whilst Salvador Ferrer faces race against clock to be fit for the match.
The visiting side, on the other hand, suffered a 2-1 loss to ten-man Milan at the weekend, with the team remaining in the relegation zone. Since Sampdoria have been struggling at the back of late, we do not believe that Spezia will have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the Italian top flight. To make things even worse for the away team, head coach Marco Giampaolo will watch the game from the stands following his sending off in the last league fixture.
