Tomorrow is the return match of the Serie B play-out between Salernitana and Sampdoria: the first leg at Marassi ended 2-0 in favor of the blucerchiati.

Tomorrow is the return match of the Serie B play-out between Salernitana and Sampdoria: in the first leg, the blucerchiati won 2-0, a draw could be enough for Evani’s team to stay in the league, while the Campanians must win by at least 2 goals.

Salernitana’s Situation

Salernitana starts from the 0-2 defeat in the first leg at Marassi, with the complication of a food poisoning incident that affected 8 starting players. Many have been discharged from hospitals, but remain under observation. Some will not be available for the return leg tomorrow at the Arechi stadium, such as Stojanovic, Soriano, and Simy, who were not expected to start. It is imperative for the Campanians to win, as a draw would mean relegation to Serie C, while a 2-0 victory would keep the granata in Serie B due to their higher league position.

Coach Marino will deploy a 3-4-2-1 formation for the match that could define the entire season, with a defense consisting of Ruggeri, Ferrari, and Lochoshvili; midfield featuring Ghiglione, Amatucci, Hrustic, and Corazza; and lone striker Cerri supported by Verde and Raimondo.

Sampdoria’s Situation

Sampdoria starts from the 2-0 victory in the first leg, a significant advantage for the blucerchiati who, after avoiding direct relegation following Brescia’s demotion to Serie C by sporting justice, are on the brink of safety after last Sunday’s win at Marassi. The blucerchiati have two results at their disposal, a draw or a win would secure their safety, even in the case of a narrow defeat (0-1, 1-2, etc.). But they cannot afford any distractions, as has been the case throughout this season.

Coach Evani is dealing with several absences, including some key players: Simone Romagnoli, Altare, and especially goalkeeper Cragno and forward Tutino. Therefore, the blucerchiato coach has to rethink his lineup for the match that could define the club’s future. The formation Evani will adopt is a 3-5-2, with a defense of Riccio, Curto, and Veroli; midfield composed of Depaoli, Yepes, Meulensteen, Benedetti, and Ioannou; and an attacking duo of Sibilli and Coda.

Probable Lineups for Salernitana-Sampdoria

Salernitana (3-4-2-1): Christensen; Ruggeri, Ferrari, Lochoshvili; Ghiglione, Amatucci, Hrustic, Corazza; Verde, Raimondo; Cerri. Manager: Marino.

Sampdoria (3-5-2): Ghidotti; Riccio, Curto, Veroli; Depaoli, Yepes, Meulensteen, Benedetti, Ioannou; Sibilli, Coda. Manager: Evani.

Spezia, aiming to once again seek promotion to Serie A next season, is considering bringing back Samuel Mulattieri, but a decision will be made in August.

Spezia, looking to attempt promotion to Serie A again next season, is considering bringing back Liguria’s Samuel Mulattieri, one of the key players in Sassuolo’s successful season, to replace the departed Pio Esposito.

Spezia, seeking attacking reinforcements after Pio Esposito’s return to Inter: Mulattieri from Sassuolo is being considered, decision to be made in August

After the disappointment of missing out on promotion in the final round against Cremonese, Spezia wants to try again next year. But many players have already packed their bags, one of them is Francesco Pio Esposito who has already returned to Inter for the Club World Cup, and Salvatore Esposito could also follow suit. Therefore, the Ligurian club is looking for worthy replacements for coach Luca D’Angelo: one of them could be Samuel Mulattieri from Sassuolo.

In the triumphant journey that brought the Emilian team back to Serie A, Mulattieri was one of the main protagonists, scoring 9 goals in the last season. Furthermore, his professional career as a footballer started at La Spezia, making his Serie B debut, which would make him well received by the Aquilotta fans.

It remains to be seen if Sassuolo is willing to sell him, considering they paid Inter 6 million euros two summers ago to acquire him. But returning to Liguria, he would be a guaranteed starter, while it’s not as certain in Emilia. Everything is put on hold until August, as it all depends on Sassuolo’s transfer decisions, especially incoming ones.

We will see what happens starting from the first of July next year, once the transfer market officially opens. We will see how the Ligurians will move, but it is certain that the team will be highly competitive in pursuing the Serie A dream that slipped away in the last decisive match.
