LiontipsRoma vs Sampdoria. Prediction and bets on the Italian Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Roma is failing the first round of the championship, and the season as a whole. The Romans were probably expecting to fight for a place in the top four, but at the moment they are only in 12th place in the table, with only 16 points to their credit. Claudio Ranieri team is only four points away from the relegation zone, so there is a risk of aggravating the situation to the limit, the European Cup zone is 12 points away. Having lost 0:2 to Como in the last round, Roma suffered its eighth defeat of the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Cristante and Paredes will not play.
Interesting trends for betting
- Roma have won their last two home games
- Roma have won four of their last five home games against Sampdoria
Tentative lineup: Svilar - Mancini, Hummels, N'Dika - Abdulhamid, Kone, Pellegrini, Angelino - Saelemaekers, El Shaarawy - Dybala.
Current form
Sampdoria clearly expected to fight for promotion, but from the very first rounds they “stalled”. Despite the change of coach, Leandro Semplici has not yet been able to radically improve the situation – the Genoese occupy only 15th place in the table after 17 rounds. The “blucerchiati” are only one point ahead of the transitional matches zone, and the direct relegation zone is two points away. Sampdoria is five points behind eighth-placed Catanzaro.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bereszynski, Romagnoli and Ferrari are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Sampdoria have not won in their last seven matches – three defeats and four draws
- Sampdoria have conceded in five of their last six matches
Estimated line-up: Ghidotti - Venuti, Melensteen, Riccio - Depaoli, Benedetti, Ricci, Bellemo, Ioannou - Tutino, Coda.

1.91Tip and bets
Roma will probably be maximally motivated after the fiasco in the match against Como and will try to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans. Sampdoria is ideal for such a scenario - the Blucerchiati have been in crisis for a long time, are seriously inferior to the Wolves in terms of player selection, and the Genoese regularly lose to the Romans at the Olimpico.
We think that the guests have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1.5) for Roma . This bet is offered with odds of 1.99
Bet on total
Roma have looked more than decent in their last home games – they played aggressively in attack and had no problems with implementation, scoring seven goals against Braga and Lecce. The Wolves will probably be maximally motivated today and will go forward with a large force straight away – the visitors will not be able to avoid problems in defense. Sampdoria is also quite capable of putting pressure on the Romans’ not very stable defense.
Bet - total over 2.5 goals. This bet is offered for 1.71
Bet on corners
Roma are the favourites and will probably dominate for the entire 90 minutes – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-3) on corners for Roma. This bet is offered for 1.95
