On April 25, the "Stadio dei Marmi" will host the 35th round match of Serie B in Italy, where "Carrarese" will face "Sampdoria". I suggest a bet on goals/cards/winner for this match.
"Carrarese"
The team had not played in the country's top division for 76 years. Not long ago, due to financial issues, they were hovering at semi-professional levels. However, this changed with rapid progress under current investors. Last season, the players were only third in their group. But, having received a pass to the playoffs, they succeeded there.
The newcomer was initially considered an outsider. But, although they indeed lose more often than they win, they have long since accumulated enough points to comfortably secure their place in Serie B for the next season. Nonetheless, they are still performing well - since mid-February, they have lost only once, to "Frosinone".
"Sampdoria"
The club hasn't won any significant trophies for a long time, and everyone understands that the glorious successes of the late 20th century are unlikely to be repeated. However, they have still managed to qualify for European competitions and, equally importantly for the country, to stay above their neighbor and rival, "Genoa". But now the players are clearly stuck in the second division (while their opponent has settled in the elite). There was a chance to move up as well, but having entered the playoffs from seventh place in that draw, they showed nothing there.
Now they simply aim not to get relegated. In early April, a new coach, Evani, who is already the latest in a series, arrived. He debuted with a minimal but crucial victory at home against "Cittadella". Before that, there were a couple of losses. They did not play against "Juve Stabia" away on Monday - like all other matches, this one was canceled.
Match facts
- "Carrarese" lost only one of their last eight matches
- On average, "Carraraese" scores 1.03 goals and concedes 1.3 goals per match
- "Sampdoria" won for the first time in eight games under the new coach
H2H
The clubs played each other for the first time in their history at the end of December in Genoa. The Christmas match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Carrarese vs Sampdoria Prediction
Bookmakers see the pair as quite equal, with each side having its strengths and weaknesses. Here we expect "both teams to score" (odds - 1.88).
