Sampdoria hosts Cagliari in round 33 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 15th at Stadio Luigi Ferraris (Genoa)
Sampdoria shows a rather good game after quarantine. It lost four times in seven rounds, but it played against Inter, Roma, and Atalanta, and Bologna was not a gift either. However, Sampdoria gained three victories. For comparison, there were only seven wins in 26 championship matches before that. The team is six points ahead of the relegation zone. However, there are six more rounds to play, so the handicap is quite modest, especially since the team still has to play with Milan and Juventus. And the match against Genoa that is fighting for survival is unlikely to be easy either.

Having replaced the coach during the quarantine (the team was headed by Walter Dzenga), Cagliari started with two victories. And everyone began to talk that the Islanders would fight for a place in the Europa League. However, there were three draws and a loss to Atalanta in the next four matches. Now Cagliari is on the 11th line, and conversations about European competitions have subsided since the team needs to win back nine points. Cagliari simply will not manage to score these nine points with such a game in the remaining six rounds. Moreover, the Islanders should even increase their handicap, so there can be no talk about the Europa League.
If we look at four of the last five head-to-head meetings in Genoa, the hosts won four times and gained one draw. Before Ranieri was invited to the team during the season (and then Sampdoria had three points and closed the standings), the task was to save a place in Serie A. And if Sampdoria wins in the upcoming match, we can assume that the coach has coped with the task with a 90% certainty. The classification of performers is approximately the same. But Cagliari is in crisis and usually shows a bad game on Sampdoria’s pitch. The hosts desperately need points and are in a quite good shape. I think the men of Ranieri will take advantage of the Islanders’ stupor and beat them at home once again.
Prediction for the match: Sampdoria to win
