It will certainly be an emotional debut for Modena coach Andrea Sottil. The former player will be looking to cause Sampdoria their first disappointment, although objectively, at least on paper, they appear to be the stronger side. But as we saw last year, they would have been relegated if it hadn’t been for the chaos in Brescia. The Sampdoria fans are hoping for another happy ending.
The management has put its faith in Massimo Donati on the bench: a young and knowledgeable coach who seems to have already made his mark on the team. Of course, they were eliminated from the Coppa Italia on penalties against Spezia. However, what really mattered were the signals that this team could send. And they were definitely positive. That’s why in Liguria they hope not only to have a completely different season from last year, but above all, of course, they hope for promotion. A club with this history cannot continue to play in Serie B. The battle for the forward position is between Cuni and Coda, with the former appearing to be the favorite. However, the second striker, who is expected to start on the bench, is the one who could make the difference in the second division. As always. So keep an eye on Sampdoria, who could certainly be a wild card in this championship.

The prediction
Sampdoria needs to have a different season than last year. And in front of their home crowd, Donati’s team could manage to take the first three points of the season. We have no doubt that there will be at least one goal per team in this match.
