Sampdoria hosts Cagliari in round 20 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, January 6th at Stadio Luigi Ferraris (Genoa)
Sampdoria was able to earn only one point in the nineteenth round of the championship. The Blue-Whites faced AS Roma in the capital of Italy. The hosts of the confrontation opened the scoring in the middle of the second half, but Sampdoria managed to equalize quite quickly. One point was enough for the Genoese to stay in the same place in the standings (15th), and their opponent lost ground. Thus, it was the fifth draw for Sampdoria. The Blue-Whites gained the same number of victories, but, unfortunately, they suffered much more defeats. The footballers just can't keep up with the level of the last season. Now Sampdoria has only twenty points, and the difference between goals conceded and goals scored is minus eight.

Cagliari is too unlucky in the current season. In the previous round, the Islanders suffered the third defeat in a row and again failed to score. They lost to Juventus in Turin. The score was not as large as in the previous two matches, but Cagliari still conceded two goals from the Old Lady. Apart from three yellow cards, Walter Mazzarri's men could not demonstrate anything and left the pitch with the eleventh loss. It seems that the relegation zone does not intend to let go of the Islanders. They are firmly entrenched on the 19th line in the standings. Cagliari has gained only one victory in the current season, and the goal difference has already reached -23. The Sardinians scored only seventeen goals, which is less than one per match. And they seem to have stopped defending their penalty area (40 goals conceded).
The first head-to-head match in this championship took place on October 17 and ended with the victory of Cagliari. It remains the only win for the Islanders in the current season. And it is quite possible that Sampdoria will have a difficult time in the upcoming game. I do not think that the Islanders will manage to win again, but they are capable of pulling out a draw. These teams are slightly different from each other, but both of them have been in a lower part of the tournament standings for a long time. They have already conceded a sufficient number of goals, but they themselves sometimes manage to score. And their upcoming game will probably end in a battling draw.
Prediction for the match: Draw
