Sampdoria vs Genoa – Preview and betting tips

Sampdoria and Genoa will face each other in a local derby this Tuesday from 17:30 (UK Time). The game was scheduled for the last weekend, but the rain postponed it for this week. The odds are very balanced as we expected.

Sampdoria are coming after a bad run, without victory in the last four league games (2 draws and 2 defeats). They are still fighting for an european cup spot, but at the moment they are on the 7th with 35 points and a 29-26 goal difference. They are four points behind Top 5 and seven behind the podium. The hosts will be without Cacciatore and Munoz, both injured.

Genoa seem to be in a good form, proof that they are coming after two wins in a row, being back in business if we can say that. They have the same numbers of points as Sampdoria (35), but a better goal difference, with 35 goals scored and 28 conceded. They are on the 6th place and a victory will take them at only one point behind Fiorentina (5th position). Marchese, Costa and Borriello are injured and will miss the derby.

Sampdoria vs Genoa probable lineups:
Sampdoria (4-3-1-2): Viviano – Silvestri, Romagnoli, Silvestre, Mesbah – Obiang, Palombo, Acquah – Soriano – Eder, Okaka.
Genoa (4-3-3): Perin – Roncaglia, Burdisso, Maio, Edenilson – Kucka, Rincon, Bertolacci – Perotti, Niang, Falque.

Prediction: Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.83
We expect a spectacular derby between these two sides, with goals from both sides, even if we have not seen that in the last three meetings.
