Sampdoria-Torino is a match of the thirty-third day of Serie A and is played on Wednesday at 6 pm: odds, predictions, TV and streaming.
Sampdoria held out almost for a time in Florence before collapsing under the blows of the Viola and picking up the heaviest defeat of its league so far. A 5-0 without possibility of appeal that perfectly photographs the disastrous situation in which the blucerchiata club finds itself, one step away from B and grappling with very serious corporate problems that at the end of the season could, in the worst case scenario, lead to bankruptcy.
In the aftermath of the “Franchi” match, Dejan Stankovic seemed to be about to resign, but after a clarification he had with the management, the alarm has been lifted. The Serbian coach, as well as the rest of his men, are only waiting for the mathematics of a now inevitable relegation. Samp, which has scored only two points in the last five days, is no longer even involved in the fight for salvation, being -10 from third-last place. Ten points to make up on the Verona-Spezia pair: a huge gap that would discourage anyone with six days left in the tournament. More realistic, on the other hand, is the possibility of avoiding last place – a purely symbolic goal – since second-last (and almost doomed) Cremonese is only three lengths away. The numbers of the blucerchiati, however, are catastrophic: 21 defeats, worst offense, second worst defense but above all worst home performance with 1 win and just 9 goals scored.
Torino too erratic
It’s not an exciting moment for Ivan Juric’s Torino either, which has had only one win since mid-March and last Saturday failed to follow up its success at the Stadio Olimpico with Lazio by losing at home to Atalanta (1-2).
Sanabria
The Granata lineup remains in the group of teams fighting for eighth place but is out of the race for Europe. Rodriguez and his teammates, protagonists of an excellent first part of the season, are paying for the too much discontinuity they had in the second half of the season, in which they alternated good performances with less good ones. The goal now is to close at least in the left side of the standings, although it will not be easy to find the right motivation. Only six teams have scored less than Torino, another reason that explains the lack of quality leap for the men coached by the Split coach.
Sampdoria-Torino: the latest lineup news
Leris is added to the list of unavailable players at Sampdoria and remains in strong doubt for the challenge with Torino. In defense Stankovic could confirm Oikonomou if Nuytinck forfeits, while in attack Jesé and Lammers are vying for a shirt. In the three-quarter, former Bayern Munich man Cuisance seems favored over both Sabiri and Djuricic.
Zima, Vieira and Ola Aina are absent in Torino, but Radonjic, who is not at his best, is also likely to miss the trip to Genoa. In defense there is room for Gravillon, while behind the only forward Sanabria is a ballot between Karamoh and Miranchuk.
The Prediction
Looking at the previous records, it turns out that the blucerchiati and granata have not drawn in five direct confrontations, including the first leg match that ended 2-1 for Torino. Sampdoria in Florence after a decent first half gave the feeling of having given up and it is difficult to imagine a positive result for Stankovic’s team, which in any case should find the way of the goal as it has happened in the last three challenges played at Marassi.
The probable lineups of Sampdoria-Torino
- SAMPDORIA (3-4-1-2): Ravaglia; Günter, Oikonomou, Amione; Zanoli, Rincon, Winks, Augello; Cuisance; Gabbiadini, Jesé.
- TORINO (3-4-2-1): Milinkovic-Savic; Gravillon, Schuurs, Buongiorno; Singo, Ricci, Ilic, Rodriguez; Karamoh, Vlasic; Sanabria.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-2
