Sampdoria vs Brescia: Match Preview

Sampdoria pushed themselves up to 16th place on the ladder with a valuable road point in a goalless draw against fancied AC Milan on Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s return.

The Blucerchiati have earned seven points from last six league outings and will be hoping to win an early relegation six-pointer on Sunday and move five points clear of Brescia and perhaps Genoa as the Grifoni have a difficult away game coming up.

Claudio Ranieri’s side have logged two wins, three draws and four losses at Luigi Ferraris this season, scoring 0.67 goals per game, whilst conceding 1.22 in return. They’ve claimed five points from last five home fixtures (1-2-2).

Veteran midfielder Barreto (2 games, 0 goals) and Alex Ferrari (12/0) are on the injury-list; Colley (16/0) and Depaoli (14/0) are suspended.

The Rondinelle blew the chance to get out of the dropping zone as they allowed in-form Lazio to come back and win the clash in the stoppages. Eugenio Corini’s team were unable to contain free-flowing Biancocelesti with ten men as Alberto Cistana saw a red in the first half.

Prior to that, Brescia racked up seven points from four league matches, beating the likes of SPAL (1-0) and Lecce (3-0).

The visitors have registered three wins, one draw and five losses away from Stadio Mario Rigamonti, averaging 0.78 goals per match and shipping 1.33 per bout. They shared the spoils with Parma (1-1) in their latest away game.

Desena (6/0) is few weeks away from return whilst Cistana (17/1) and Sandro Tonali (18/1) are banned.

Sampdoria vs Brescia: Predicted Starting Lineups

Sampdoria (4-4-2): Audero – Bereszysnki, Thorsby, Murillo, Murru – Linetty, Vieira, Ekdal, Jankto – Quagliarella, Gabbiadini.

Brescia (3-5-2): Joronen – Sabelli, Chancellor, Magnani – Mateju, Bisoli, Zmrhal, Romulo, Spalek – Balotelli, Torregrossa.

Sampdoria vs Brescia: Prediction

The Rondinelle are bound to struggle in defence and midfield as Cistana and Tonali are both very important players for them.

The hosts will be looking to capitalize on that, and I will back them to land three precious points on Sunday.

With a 2-1 hunch, I’ll go with BTTS – Yes as well since Brescia have scored in four of the last five Serie A matches and Mario Balotelli seems to be in form with three goals in last five league fixtures.
