Sampdoria to win
On the face of it, Cosenza should be winning this match when you look at how both teams have played this season. Consenza are in the top six while Sampdoria are languishing in the relegation zone, however, the time has come for Sampdoria to show their class. The international break will have given Andrea Pirlo an opportunity to reassess things and in front of their home crowd, we believe they will get the win to begin their turnaround.
BTTS
Both teams have been among the goals this season, despite their varying fortunes in terms of points and results. Despite their poor league position, Sampdoria have only failed to find the back of the net on two occasions which tells you all you need to know about their defensive record. Cosenza, meanwhile, have scored in every Serie B match bar one which sets us up for a goalfest on Sunday.
Over 0.5 first half goals
Neither of these teams are shy about how they want to play and start games in an open fashion. While this has worked to Cosenza’s advantage, it has worked against Sampdoria. Only two of Sampdoria’s games this season have been goalless at half time while the same can be said for three of Consenza’s.
Sampdoria vs Cosenza: Preview and team news
Sampdoria
After a ten-year stint in Serie A, Sampdoria were relegated to Serie B last season after finishing at the bottom of the Italian top flight. After appointing Andrea Pirlo as manager in the summer, they were hoping to bounce back immediately to Serie A but at present, they look more likely to suffer back-to-back relegations. A win on Sunday could kickstart their season.
Cosenza
Last season, Consenza were on the verge of relegation to Serie C but survived by the skin of their teeth. By the looks of things, they are determined to avoid a similar result this season and have started the campaign in promotion-level form. If they can go to Sampdoria and win, then their fans may start dreaming of Serie A.
