The 8th round of Serie B sees Sampdoria-Frosinone facing off: the blucerchiati are in second-to-last place in the standings, while the ciociari are in 3rd place.

The 8th round of Serie B sees Sampdoria-Frosinone facing off: the blucerchiati are coming off a 3-1 defeat against Entella, while the ciociari are coming off a 1-0 defeat against Monza.

Here Sampdoria

The Sampdoria is coming off a 3-1 defeat against Entella, a defeat in the Ligurian derby that cost Massimo Donati his job, replaced by Gregucci and Foti, with the goal once again of avoiding relegation. For the blucerchiati, the script of last year is repeating itself, nullifying the promises of a fresh start this summer. Unfortunately, they must face reality, as Frosinone, the third force in the standings, is a tough opponent at the Ferraris.

Coaches Gregucci and Foti will field a 3-4-2-1 formation with a defense composed of Riccio, Hadzikadunic, and A. Ferrari; midfield featuring Depaoli, Abildgaard, Ricci, and Ioannou; with Coda as the lone striker supported by Barak and Cuni.

Here Frosinone

The Frosinone is coming off a 1-0 defeat against Monza, their second loss after the one against Venezia, but still sitting in third place in the standings, trailing Palermo by -2 and Modena by -4 at the top of the Serie B table. Alvini’s team can aim high this year after a challenging season last year. For a team hungry for victory, the match against Sampdoria is a good opportunity to secure 3 points.

The ciociari’s coach will deploy a 4-3-2-1 formation with a defense consisting of Depaoli, Abildgaard, Ricci, and Ioannou; midfield featuring Calò, Koutsoupias, and Grosso; with Raimondo as the lone striker supported by Ghedjemis and Masciangelo.

Sampdoria-Frosinone probable lineups

Sampdoria (3-4-2-1): Ghidotti; Riccio, Hadzikadunic, A. Ferrari; Depaoli, Abildgaard, Ricci, Ioannou; Barak, Cuni; Coda. Coach: Gregucci-Foti.

Frosinone (4-3-2-1): Palmisani; A. Oyono, Calvani, Monterisi, Bracaglia; Calò, Koutsoupias, Grosso; Ghedjemis, Masciangelo; Raimondo. Coach: Alvini.
