Sampdoria-Venezia is valid for the third day of the Serie B championship: where to watch it on TV and streaming likely formations and predictions
Pirlo’s Sampdoria, after starting the season well by going on to win on the field of Ternana, immediately came back down to earth by losing at Marassi against Aquilani’s Pisa. It was a performance far from memorable for the Ligurians who, however, immediately have the chance in front of the friendly public to make up for it. Although it will not be easy.
Yes, because Venezia is a team that plays good soccer, which won on its debut by destroying Como, and then against Cosenza drew. For the Lagunari tonight’s is the first away game of the season, and there is the question, above all, of whether the attitude will remain the same from what we see at home. We have a feeling it may be that way, honestly, although it has to be said that for what are the qualities on the field Sampdoria starts slightly favored.
One factor, at least in the minds of some of the Venice players, could be the market. Especially in that striker, Pohjanpalo, the team’s best, has reportedly come into Udinese’s sights after Beto’s sale to Everton. Perhaps the center forward could be lured by the temptation to go to Serie A and thus might not even be 100 percent. We shall see. Either way, Samp, should be able to take the win.

Sampdoria-Venice prediction
Victory suffered, but still a victory. Sampdoria starts favored in the challenge at Marassi and wants to put the defeat against Pisa behind them right away. Race that should give, moreover, at least one goal each.
