News Team
Sampdoria
Claudio Ranieri is set to select a 4-3-1-2 system to debut as manager of Sampdoria.
People like Gaston Ramirez and Manolo Gabbiadini is expected to return to the starting lineup, with competition in midfield (Ronaldo Vieira vs Edgar Barreto) and defense (Alex Ferrari vs Jeison Murillo).
Karol Linetty is the only major absentee due to a minor injury.
Roma
Roma injury woes continue as Edin Dzeko fractured cheekbone and the current situation is quite clear: he could either lose or make it to the bench with a protective mask, as Nikola Kalinic will lead the Giallorossi attack.
A positive news of recovery Diego Perotti, who could come from off the bench and provide a much-needed option attack to Paulo Fonseca: overall there should be no further changes in the starting XI, with Amadou Diawara is expected to be back in action in mid -November after completing a meniscus operation on his left.

Sampdoria vs Roma: Predictions
With only three points from seven matches, Sampdoria were dead last in Serie A. After their third defeat on the trot against Hellas Verona (0-2), La Samp patron Massimo Ferrero has decided to dismiss Eusebio Di Francesco and hired Claudio Ranieri.
Legendary Leicester boss will try to improve their defensive problems and get the best out of stars performing poorly. Maroni, Seculin, Linetty and Thorsby very doubtful to play.
Roma is fifth in the league with three wins, three draws and one loss. They almost won the match against Cagliari, but VAR intrusive and disallowed injury-time winner this Kalinic. In the 'heat of the moment', Roma manager, Paulo Fonseca, insulting the referee and received a two-match touchline ban and his assistant Nuno Campos will take his place on the bench.
The Giallorossi will be very understaffed in Genoa - Dzeko, Pellegrini, Mkhitaryan, Perotti, Zappacosta, Under and Diawara injured.
As expected, the number Samp surprising. They have an average of 0.67 goals per game at home, while conceding 2 per game. before them, Quagliarella, Gabbiadini and Caprari has scored 2 goals this season combined.
Roman numbers on the street that is not too impressive, but none of those boring games, including a 1-0 win over Lecce. They pocketed 1.33 goals per game and while allowing 0.67 per fight.
Sampdoria will be looking for a fresh start under a new manager. their problems will not go away overnight, but they should be fine. I will return them at double the market basically no chance against Roma Europa League squad on Sunday, but I can not see them keeping a clean sheet in the process.
