AS Roma hosts Sampdoria in round 15 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, January 3rd at Stadio Olimpico (Rome)
The Romans have not changed their principle of the game for several years. They always prioritize attacking actions but often make blunders in defense. Nevertheless, now the team of the Portuguese Fonseca is 3rd in the Serie A standings, which can probably be called a success, and four victories in five matches speak of this. Meanwhile, Roma concedes a lot. In the last round, Cagliari scored two goals at Stadio Olimpico.

Under Ranieri, Sampdoria clearly looks better than last year's version. An experienced Italian mentor staged football based on counterattacks. Somewhere it brings results (like on the road with Atalanta and Verona). In general, Sampa always scores against very attacking teams. Its current 11th place is quite worthy, given the density of the championship.
Last season Roma defeated its opponents at home, conceding first (2:1). The statistics and the ability of Sampdoria to arrange sharp counter-attacks are in favor of its goal scored. Beyond that, Ranieri worked in the camp of the Romans for six months before Fonseca's appointment, and the Italian coach knows all the strengths and weaknesses of his former team. Therefore, the goal scored by Sampdoria looks like a safe option for the bet.
Prediction for the match: Sampdoria to score over 0.5 goals
