Fiorentina hosts Sampdoria in round 3 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, October 2nd at Stadio Artemio Franchi (Florence)
The Florentine club is traditionally associated with spectacular attacking football that the team has been preaching for many years. This year was no exception, and Fiorentina started it very effectively. The Violets beat Torino in the first round (1:0) but had to score more because they delivered 17 shots on goal and 8 on target. Besides, one of their goals was canceled due to an offside position. Then Fiorentina showed a spectacular game with Inter. The team was leading up to the 87th minute, but the Nerazzurri scored two goals and won with a 4:3 score.

Sampdoria started the season very badly. If the crushing defeat to Juventus (3: 0) can be forgiven, then a home loss to the newcomer from Serie B Benevento (2:3) is totally inappropriate! The Genoese conceded six goals in two matches. It’s hard to believe that this team is led by the pragmatic Claudio Ranieri. At the same time, Sampdoria looks quite good in the attack. It managed to deliver 10 shots on goal even in the match with Juventus.
Both teams show a nice game in the attack and defend disgustingly. Therefore, it is logical to expect a wide-open double-edged game and a bunch of goals scored in the upcoming match. Sampdoria will not sit back on heels after two defeats in a row, especially that it is simply stupid to hope for such a leaky defense! The visitors will look for happiness in the attack. And when they play attacking football, the matches are often very scoring. I would not be surprised if we see here a whole bunch of goals in both directions.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
