Football Prediction
Already relegated Sampdoria are out to redeem their image when they host Sassuolo on Friday night in Serie A.
The hosts have only won three games this season and are on the verge of being among the Serie A team to have performed dismally in a season after collecting only 18 points after 36 games. They have nothing to fight for any longer and it remains to be seen if they’ll have the mojo to give their best for their home fans something to cheer about in their last home game of the season.
Sassuolo has a chance of finishing in the top ten if they can win their two remaining games of the season starting this Friday. They are just four points off Torino and finish the season with Fiorentina but they are yet to win their last four games with their last defeat coming against Monza.
H2H/Stats
Sampdoria might be struggling but Sassuolo has never been one of their problems if recent meetings are to be put into consideration. One of their three wins this season was away to Sassuolo.
Recent meetings:
4/1/23: Sassuolo 1-2 Sampdoria
6/2/22: Sampdoria 4-0 Sassuolo
29/8/21: Sassuolo 0-0 Sampdoria
24/4/21: Sassuolo 1-0 Sampdoria
23/12/20: Sampdoria 2-3 Sassuolo
Team News
Dejan Stankovic is expected to return to a back three following a hammering by Milan last week. Sampdoria remains without Emil Audero in goal, while Ignacio Pussetto, Andrea Conti, Abdelhamid Sabiri, and Gerard Yepes are all sidelined through injury.
A red card for Ruan in the defeat against Monza means that Gian Marco Ferrari will step in as center-back against Sampdoria. Alessio Dionisi is also without Armand Lauriente, with the winger ruled out for the season, so Nedim Bajrami is expected to start on the left wing.
Probable Line Ups
Sampdoria XI: Ravaglia; Gunter, Nuytinck, Amione; Zanoli, Winks, Rincon, Augello; Djuricic; Gabbiadini, Quagliarella
Sassuolo XI: Consigli; Toljan, Erlic, Ferrari, Rogerio; Frattesi, Lopez, Henrique; Berardi, Pinamonti, Bajrami

Verdict
Sampdoria is in an unfortunate period, having won just 2 of their last 25 matches in Serie A but Sassuolo have lost all of their last 4 away matches in Serie A. Sampdoria concede 1+ goals in their last 11 matches in Serie A so we expect goals in the tie even as they try to give their home fans something to smile about on Friday.
Verdict: Over 1.5 Goals✅
Anytime Goalscorer
Fabio Quagliarella
Fabio scored his first goal of the Serie A season with the game already gone against Milan. The 40-year-old has now scored in 18 consecutive campaigns, although his future is far from certain. In what could be his final game at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, we back the veteran to score anytime against Sassuolo.
Domenico Berardi
Beradi has been doing his best to drag the Neroverdi to victory. With 10 goals to his name, the winger will be the most prolific player on the pitch and his penalty duties further improve his odds to score anytime.
