Venezia-Sampdoria is valid for the 20th day of the Serie B championship: where to watch it on TV and streaming, probable formations and predictions
Four days without a win. Venezia ended 2023 badly. And it has seen the standings shorten and also by a lot. A bad moment for the lagunari, who, however, for this 2024 have recovered their princely center forward, Pohjanpalo, who against Sampdoria will be on the field from the first minute. A crucial return.
Will it be enough to get the better of Pirlo’s team that now sees the playoffs only two points away? We think not, objectively. The Ligurians of the former Juventus coach have shown that they have what it takes, to the sound of performances and results, to be able to get back into the group that counts, the one that at the end of the regular season will try to take the top series. A season that started very badly – several times Pirlo was on the gridiron – has settled down, however. Patience on Samp’s part and trust were needed. And perhaps things even went the right way. In short, we don’t feel like giving Pirlo’s lineup a pass, quite the contrary. We are confident that it could return home with a positive result.
The Venice-Sampdoria prediction
In the match in Laguna, a draw is the result that could come out, in a match of at least one goal per team. Yes, both the hosts and Pirlo’s guests have what it takes to be able to exult. Then, Venice is yes second, but the guests are in good form. So tie. Almost no doubt.
