Sampdoria vs Cesena Prediction and Football Tips
Serie A football tips – Sampdoria vs Cesena prediction.
Sampdoria manager Sinisa Mihajlovic will once again be sweating on the fitness of full-back Lorenzo De Silvestri and Vasco Regini is suspended but other than that, should be able to field his strongest team. It’s a choice between Okaka and Muriel to lead the line for Sampdoria, with Eto’o and Eder working off the main striker.
Cesena have multiple injury concerns ahead of this vital Serie A match. The likes of Andrea Tabanelli, Hugo Almeida, Luca Valzania and Francesco Renzetti are all back in training but there are doubts over Gregoire Defrel, Walter Bressan and Luigi Giorgi.
Probable Line-ups
Sampdoria: 4-3-3 formation: Viviano; Silvestri, Silvestre, Romagnoli, Mesbah; Obiang, Palombo, Soriano; Eto’o, Okaka, Eder
Cesena: 4-3-1-2 formation: Leali; Perico, Capelli, Lucchini, Krajnc; Giorgi, Cascione, Carbonero; Brienza; Dufrel, Djuric
- Sampdoria have won 4, drawn 3 and lost 3 of their last 10 matches

- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 3 of Cesena’s previous 10 matches
- When these teams met earlier in the season, the match ended in a 1-1 draw
Sampdoria have faced two tough away trips in Serie A recently, losing 2-0 away to Sampdoria and picking a 1-1 draw against Milan. Mihajlovic will be glad to get back to Genoa, where Sampdoria are undefeated in 14 matches, a run which they will expect to continue against a struggling Cesena.
Cesena find themselves in deep trouble in the relegation and a trip to Sampdoria is the last thing a team needs when in the desperate search for points. With just 1 win away from home all season, at bottom of the table Parma, this match is going to be a struggle for Domenico Di Carlo’s team.
We say: Sampdoria to win by 2 goals at 10/3 with Bet365
