Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Sunday’s football game between Cittadella and Sampdoria will bring down the curtain on the Serie B round 22. La Citta aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Ternana and they are surely capable of matching the out-of-sorts visitors on home soil. Defender Matteo Angeli is pushing for a rare start, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Andrea Pirlo’s men, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Parma, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home side. To make things even worse for the Genovese, all Ferrari, Borini, and Pedrola are out of contention with injuries. Manuel De Luca, who found the net in a 5-3 loss to Venezia, is widely expected to lead the line for the visiting team.
