Sampdoria vs Roma

Serie A, Italy

Date: Sunday, Dec 13, 2009

Stadium: Comunale Luigi Ferraris

This will be one of the most interesting clashes of the 15th round with Roma arriving to Marassi buoyed by the major city derby win.with this win, Roma are now back in the fourth place dogfight and they will do their utmost to get back in the European elite next year. Namely, it was due to that lack of European gigs that they hadn’t been so active during the transfer window and boost the squad properly. Samp are in shock, after a hell of a start, this team is in a lot of trouble at the moment, Milan just eased past them and they were also beaten in the city derby which only added insult to injury. As usual, with thin nerves, confrontations begin. Whenever he plays against his former club, Cassano just fills the headlines. He is always so motivated in these games, but he has never put in a memorable display. The problem is he burns in his huge desire and many believe he is now pressured by the fact he won’t be traveling to South Africa. One of the training sessions this week saw him confront the fans. Namely, he couldn’t discard all the shouts and a physical confrontation has nearly happened. Although people in the club tried to settle things down, Cassano is threatening to leave. Still, Samp managed to push it together and they will need to repeat the opening performances if they want to see a positive result on the score board.  Del Neri came to an eye-opening discovery  that there is comes the rainbow after the rain and do we expect things to go smoothly from now on? Semioli has finally recovered but will be benched for starters. The team is complete and that is the reason to feel optimistic. They did beat Lazio, but it was a lousy game with luckier side grabbing the win. Casseti turned out to be an unexpected hero after replacing the injured Mexes. Still, despite somewhat weaker display, no one has objected a thing to Roma players since the most important thing was to throw the arch rivals to their knees. Roma are on a great stretch, Ranieri brought tranquility to this team, but whatever he does only a fourth place will count. Romans lost two out of four away games, but the schedule was pretty hard on them. Still, they managed to win a point in Milan and to beat Atalanta too. They are once again facing squad problems. Pizzaro and Menez are suspended, Tonetto and Mexes injured and Ranieri will once again go with Totti as the lone striker, with Perrotta instead of Menez alongside Vucinic. This is a tough one to predict, but, having in mind the characters of both teams and all the absences in Roma, we feel that over 2.5 goals is the best solution. Namely, Sampdoria will adopt a attacking approach at home but their defense is not what they would all want it to be. It was seen even when they were winning all of those games at the beginning of the season. That is why we believe both teams will score and we also believe there will be no draw at Marrassi. Highlights and results will be available soon..
