Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Saturday’s football game at Stadio Olimpico di Torino pits together Torino and Sampdoria, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Serie A standings. Il Toro do not seem to be at the top of their game, with the team losing three of their last four league fixtures. Torino failed to spoil Milan’s party at Stadio San Siro at the weekend, and, no doubt, they are low on spirits ahead of the visit of Sampdoria.
La Samp, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Atalanta. Despite the midweek defeat, Sampdoria have been in a fine form of late, and they are likely to hold Torino to a draw at Stadio Olimpico di Torino. The good news for the visitors is that Bereszynski returns from suspension, but all Augelio, Damsgaard, Verre, and Vieira are out of contention through injuries.
