The Giallorossi have played several unsuccessful matches in the first half of the season. The Romans, for example, lost away to Venice and Bologna, lost in the derby to Lazio, and were also defeated on their home field by Inter. However, the performance that Jose Mourinho’s side made was all the more valuable ahead of their encounter with Sampdoria. First, Roma successfully completed the Conference League group stage when they beat CSKA Sofia away to take the final 1st place in the group. They then beat La Spezia 2-0 on home soil. Last Saturday, they demolished Atalanta 4-1 away. Perhaps now Roma’s results will pick up.
After a good start, the Giallorossi are fifth in the Serie A table and six points adrift of the top-four Champions League spot.
Sampdoria are again short of points
After beating Genoa 3-1 in the derby and a 2-1 success against Torino in the Italian Cup 1/16 final, it looked as if Roberto D’Aversa Sampdoria were finally starting to perform to the expected standard for them at the start of the championship. However, Sunday’s game against Venezia showed that Sampdoria are far from recovered. The Genoese controlled the entire game against the underdogs on home soil, with Manolo Gabbiadini opening the scoring in the first minute. Still, they failed to capitalize on it or even hold on to it, 1-1. The Venetians scored in the closing stages, while Sampdoria failed to take their points again.
Roberto D’Aversa’s side approached the 19th round in 15th place, 9 points ahead of the relegation zone.

Sampdoria look frankly weak this season. Roberto D’Aversa is not living up to expectations. If Roma take a responsible approach to the upcoming match, they will surely win. After defeating Atalanta, Jose Mourinho’s team will be emotionally high, so they are unlikely to experience problems.
The prediction is a win for Roma.
