Salernitana will compete with Sampdoria as part of the 1/16 finals of the Coppa Italia. The match will take place at Stadio Arechi on Tuesday, October 31, and will start at 18:00 CET.
Salernitana
Speaking about the new season, after disappointing results, Paulo Sousa was replaced as the head coach by Filippo Inzaghi, but has not improved the situation yet. Salernitana has not known the joy of victory. Its asset includes the draws with Frosinone, Udinese, Cagliari and Roma.
The club from Salerno is ahead only of Claudio Ranieri’s Cagliari in the standings. Inzaghi’s team, definitely, will have to fight for the so-called “residence” in the elite of Italian football.
As for the 1/32 stage of the Coppa Italia, Salernitana minimally defeated Ternana.
Sampdoria
The club sometimes “shot out”, climbing into the European tournament zone. Still, more often, especially recently, it had to fight for survival, which is not always successful. For instance, the previous season was a failure, and ended with relegation from the last place of the Serie A. Taking into account 38 matches, the popular team got only 19 points. Andrea Pirlo was entrusted with the leading it out of the crisis, although he, despite all his legendary status as a football player, has coached little so far and that experience was not particularly successful (he spent only one season at Juventus and Fatih Karagümrük). Traditionally, having been relegated to the Serie B, the squad was radically updated, and the team failed at the start of the season.
Now, the Genoese club seems to be slowly emerging from the crisis, but it still cannot leave the relegation zone in the Serie B table.
Interesting facts and the statistics of head-to-head matches
• Salernitana has not won 5 matches in a row at the home arena.
• Sampdoria has won only once in 10 previous confrontations.
• Sampdoria has defeated Salernitana on the away field in 3 out of 5 previous games.
Prediction
This will be a match between the teams of two legendary Milan football players – Filippo Inzaghi and Andrea Pirlo. The sign is excellent, and I expect the game will be productive. My bet is “total: over 2.5”.
