Sampdoria vs.AS Roma

Roma has the advantage of not having played over the weekend against Cagliari as they’ve been awarded a walkover win over Cagliari, so they should be fitter than their opponents who had a demanding game against Torino at home.

The Giallorossi has had no problems scoring goals at the Olimpico, but their defense were not at the same level conceding at least two goals in each of their last five home games.

Sampdoria scored on both their travels (against Milan and Pescara) and I can’t see why they wouldn’t do it again, but Maxi Lopez’s absence could be a big blow for them, their offensive strength without Lopez is diminished considerably.

Roma will be without Osvaldo, but they still have a lot of firepower with the likes of Totti, Destro or Lamela, so I expect them to net at least twice against Sampdoria and secure their first home win in a long time.
