Genoa-Sampdoria is a match valid for the Italian Cup round of 16 and is played on Wednesday at 9 p.m.: news, probable formations, prediction, TV and streaming.
The Coppa Italia returns us an extracittadina that has not been played for over 2 years, namely the derby della Lanterna. It has been since 2022 that Genoa and Sampdoria have not faced each other: a match decided by a Sabiri goal that, in fact, sanctioned the Grifone’s relegation to Serie B. The Rossoblù remained in the cadetteria for only one year, but in the meantime the Blucerchiati, in their second consecutive season in the cadetta series, were relegated.
Both, in their respective leagues, are going through delicate moments. Genoa has slowed down abruptly after a positive start (draw with Inter and win with Monza), barely picking up a draw in the last three days. Last Saturday, Alberto Gilardino’s team surrendered 2-0 to newly promoted Venezia, once again revealing its problems in ball possession: the attack has scored only one goal in the last 270 minutes, showing that the disposals of Gudmundsson and Retegui have left holes that are difficult to fill. In Serie B, Sampdoria is also struggling to get going, having already changed coaches: instead of Andrea Pirlo, the club has enlisted Andrea Sottil. The first success, however, came only at the weekend: narrowly bent Sudtirol thanks to a goal by Venuti (1-0). For the blucerchiati three precious points and, above all, crucial to leave the last place in the standings. In the middle of August, in the first round of the Coppa Italia, Samp imposed itself on Como on penalties, while Genoa got the better of Reggiana.

The Prediction
The derby is always a derby, which is why we expect that the two teams will not underestimate the engagement in any way. Genoa will try to make the category difference count and is favored, but this is one of those circumstances in which the gap tends to zero. Without exposing ourselves on the final result, we assume a match of at least one goal on each side, a sign that has come out five times in the last 6 meetings between Genoa and Sampdoria.
