On Saturday, starting with 17:00, the Sampdoria – Crotone match will be played, within the 13th round of Serie A.
Sampdoria ranks 11th in Serie A, with 14 points from 4 wins and 2 draws. At the moment, the band from Genoa is 9 points behind the positions that ensure the presence in the European cups and 7 points in front of the first team in the relegation zone. In this sense, we can say about Claudia Ranieri’s team that she is “quiet” and plays without any special pressure – especially if we compare this season with the previous one, in which ‘Doria had important problems in the fight to avoid relegation.
On the other hand, Crotone was the “performer” of the last two stages. The small team, promoted in this competitive season in Serie B, managed to get 4 points in the previous matches played, 4-1 with Spezia and 0-0 with Udinese. Despite this, Crotone is still the “red lantern” and most Italian football specialists consider it as relegated at the end of the 2020/2021 season. Our team is of the opinion that in the perspective of the duel on “Luigi Ferraris” the visiting team will not be able to get any points, the value difference being a significant one. It is on this idea that we will outline our predictions.
Sampdoria (4-4-2): Audero – Ferrari, Yoshida, Tonelli, Augello – Jankto, Thorsby, Ekdal, Damsgaard – La Gumina, Quagliarella;
Crotone (3-5-2): Cordaz – Magallan, Marrone, Luperto – Pereira, Molina, Petriccione, Eduardo, Reca – Messias, Simy.
Over 2.5 goals in the last 4 direct matches;
Crotone, without victory in the previous 7 official trips;
Sampdoria comes after the victory with Verona (2-1).
PREDICTION: Sampdoria to win @ 1,84
