This is certainly one of the most interesting matches in the fifth round of Italian Serie A, but it is also a bit odd that the team of Sampdoria is welcoming it from the fourth position on the table and three points more than the great Inter, which is in the 14th position at the moment. However, the team from Milan celebrated in both of their championship duels, first at home with 3-2 and then as guests with 5-0.
And since this was also one of the most serious home defeats for Sampdoria in history, it is quite clear that they will be highly motivated on Saturday night to revenge to the team of Inter. Especially because after their defeat from Udinese, coach Giampaolo's players have in the next two championship duels made a convincing victory, at home with 3-0 over Napoli and with 5-0 away over Frosinona, while they also three days ago played 1-1 with Fiorentina at home.
Otherwise, Sampdoria has managed to return to the game after they were losing with 1-0, while they in the end had several opportunities to win even though. However, with these seven points won, after four rounds played, the team from Geana can be very pleased, so they are welcoming this match with Inter in a rather good mood. We should also add that they only missing the injured centre-back Regina and midfielder Saponar for this match with Inter.
Probable lineups Sampdoria: Audero – Bereszynski, Colley, Andersen, Murru – Praet, Ekdal, Jankto – Caprari – Defrel, Quagliarella
We have already said in the introduction that Inter is coming to Genoa with three points behind Sampdoria, so we are sure they will do their best to get even on the table, and at the same time return to the top of the Serie A, where they certainly belong. However, they only have themselves to blame for the fact that they are only in the 14th place at the moment, because they were defeated as guests by Sassuolo and at home from Parma in the first four rounds, while they have only won points in a draw with Torino at home and when they celebrated against Bologna as guests.
However, coach Spaletti's players have managed to compensate for this desperate performance against Parma, in the first round of the Champions League, when they came to a home win of 2-1 over Tottenham after the turnaround. Of course, it should only be an additional boost for them to finally play in the championship in midfield with their renown, so we already on Saturday in Genoa expect a lot braver approach from the Nerazzurri, who are missing defender Vrsaljko and striker Martinez due to injuries.
Probable lineups Inter Milan: Handanovic – D'Ambrosio, Skriniar, de Vrij, Dalbert – Gagliardini, Vecino – Candreva, Nainggolan, Perisic – Icardi
Even though Inter has with a victory over Tottenham significantly improved the atmosphere in the team, we also have to know that Sampdoria is a very unpleasant host and therefore we expect them to score at least one point in this Saturday's derby.
