Sampdoria vs Sudtirol 14.08.2023 Prediction: Coppa Italia

Match Overview

Sampdoria take on Sudtirol in the first round of the Coppa Italia knockout competition on Sunday at the Stadio Comunale Lugio Ferraris. Despite not having won a match at home in their last five attempts to do so, Sampdoria will feel that they can get the better of their opponents, who are quite inexperienced and possess players from the lower rungs of the game.  

Key Highlights

Sudtirol, who have won just two games out of the last five that they have played, will feel that they do not have enough form coming into this match. However, talks of form are thrown out of the window whenever such talks of merit need to be had. They lost the last game that they played by a 0-1 scoreline to Bari, and this will hurt them tremendously.

Injury Report

Andrea Masiello appears to be a doubtful starter for Suditrol owing to the dislocated shoulder that he is suffering from. Sampdoria, for their part, do not have any major injuries in their squad at all.

Prediction

Sampdoria have a clear upper hand coming into this game. They are favoured to win it by a comfortable margin as well. However, Sudtirol will feel that the fact that Sampdoria have not kept a clean sheet in the last 13 matches that they have played will help them in a sense. Sampdoria have also not won a match in their last 11 attempts to do so. We expect BTTS (both teams to score).
