Chievo vs Sampdoria Prediction and Preview – 02/11/15
Serie A preview – Chievo vs Sampdoria prediction
Chievo manager Rolando Maran is without midfielder Perparim Hetemej, who has been a regular started this season. Defender Nicholas Frey is also rated as highly doubtful, after picking up an injury against AC Milan. There may be changes in the midfield and attack, as Maran looks to freshen things up after the match in mid-week.
Sampdoria are still without Vasco Regini, Andrea Coda, Lazaros Christodoulopoulos and Nenad Krsticic, who face lengthy spells on the sidelines. Striker Luis Muriel is likely to come back to partner Eder in attack, after missing out against Empoli on Thursday night.
Possible Line-ups
Chievo: 4-3-1-2 formation: Bizzarri; Gobbi, Gamberini, Dainelli, Cacciatore; Castro, Rigoni, Radovanovic; Birsa, Meggiorini, Paloschi
Sampdoria: 4-3-1-2 formation: Viviano; Cassani, Silvestre, Zukanovic, Mesbah; Fernando, Carbonero, Barreto; Soriano; Muriel, Eder

Prediction
Chievo have failed to win any of their last five Serie A matches and will be looking at this match as the perfect chance to end their poor run. After a good start, which saw them pick up 7 points from a possible 9, including a point at Juventus, Chievo’s form has really dropped off. Having lost their last two games 1-0, Rolando Maran will be looking towards his forwards to get Chievo scoring goals again.
Sampdoria are unbeaten in their last two Serie A matches but were disappointed to only pick up a point against Empoli last time out. Furthermore, Sampdoria have won only one of their last five matches in the league, drawing two and losing two in the process. Sampdoria’s away form has been shocking this season, picking up just a single point from their four games on their travels and have tasted defeat at Torino, Atalanta and Frosinone.
Given the current form of the two teams, a low scoring draw here is a distinct possibility.
