Italian Serie A
2010-05-02 - Sampdoria vs Livorno
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Sampdoria goes into this match knowing that they can get into the Champions League and put more misery over Livorno who are already relegated.
Sampdoria are in fourth after overtaking Palermo to the Champions League spot. They have won their last four games in a row and the manner they won those games were particularly convincing.
Against the likes of Milan and also Roma at the Olimpico last Sunday Samp came from a goal down to register superb wins. Giampaolo Pazzini was the man they had to thank for as he was the hero on both times.
It now comes to the crunch for their last three games. Palermo are just two points behind, and the two sides meet in Sicily next week for what should be an exciting clash that could decide who goes through to the Champions League last spot. Sampdoria needs nothing less than a win here as Palermo are hard to beat at home considering they have won 13 of their 18 home games this season and lost none to date.
For Livorno to get anything out of this match is asking a lot of them as they have only won one of their last 16 Serie A matches and are missing a clutch of key men, not to mention the fact they were relegated last weekend. Despite beating Catania 3-1 last weekend, their fate was sealed due to results elsewhere.
As for the team news, Sampdoria’s only missing players are the injured Nicola Pozzi and Pietro Accardi, whereas Livorno’s injury list includes Leonardo Miglionico, Francesco Tavano, Nelson Rivas, Andrea Esposito and Marcus Diniz.
Take Sampdoria to win this match.
Cheers and good luck,
