Italian Serie A
2009-10-24 - Sampdoria vs Bologna
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Sampdoria felt hard done in their last match after they were denied a chance to go top when they were denied two penalties in the 1-1 draw with Lazio.
And what is worse is that their top scorer Giampaolo Pazzini has fractured his nose and will miss out on this match. Franco Semioli and Ferdinando Tissoneare the other two players also out for the home side with injuries. On the other hand, while Marco Padalino sits out a one-match ban following his red card.
This means we will see Nicola Pozzi will start alongside Antonio Cassano in attack with Daniele Franceschini starting out in midfield. Under-21 international Andrea Poli is playing well in the centre of midfield and continues to impress.
Bologna comes into this match with a new coach at the helm after they sacked Coach Giuseppe Papadopulo. New Bologna boss Franco Colomba will be hard pressed to get a result here. Bologna are currently third from the bottom with just one win, three draws and four defeats under their belts.
They were beaten at Napoli and what is worse was it came in stoppage time. It was certainly harsh to fire the coach after leading for most part of that game and even the creditable draw with Juventus. Now it is Colomba who must get the team together.
Bologna will miss the services of Massimo Mutarelli, Davide Bombardini, Andrea Raggi and Santos ahead of this clash. Martins Adailton is playing well after scoring a good free kick last weekend but Marcelo Zalayeta and Marco Di Vaio are not playing well up to expectations. The coach could decide to start with all three in this match in an effort to get the goals.
With Bologna fighting for the points, don't be surprised if it ends in a draw here.
Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
