Match details
Monza v Sampdoria
Serie A
U-Power Stadium, Monza, Italy
7th February, 01:15 a.m.
Preview
Another Serie A gameweek concludes tonight with an exciting fixture as the newly promoted Monza welcomes relegation favorites Sampdoria to their home turf.
For many, Monza has exceeded the expectations of what their fans were expecting this season. Monza’s evenly contested mid-table performances this season have made them the league’s best performing promoted teams; with 25 goals, their attack is pretty much assured, and they would be looking to take all three points against a struggling Sampdoria side.
Sampdoria, on the other hand, is going through the worst phase of this season. A team that once boasted names like Roberto Mancini, the current Italian national team manager who won Serie A with Sampdoria in the 1990s, is struggling to score goals and hasn’t even reached double digits this season. A win or a single point against Monza would be good medicine for this struggling club, which is on the verge of relegation.
