Sampdoria-Atalanta, the Dea wins the first in four years: all the odds

Missing less and less at the beginning of Serie A. The championship is back and we go on the pitch. Saturday is the turn of Sampdoria-Atalanta: kick-off at Ferraris at 18.30. It will not be the first official match of this season for Giampolo’s team, because the Sampdoria team faced and overtook Reggina in the 32nd of the Italian Cup (1-0, Sabiri’s goal). After a complicated pre-season and Gasperini’s discontent, the Goddess does not want to make a mistake at the debut.

How the teams arrive

The news at Sampdoria are the arrivals of Djuricic from Sassuolo and Gonzalo Villar from Rome. They will be Giampaolo’s reinforcements in the middle of the field. They greeted the various Caprari, Bonazzoli, Thorsby, Yoshida and Ekdal. For the Sampdoria there is a negative trend to reverse: the team has lost all their last four season debuts in Serie A (without scoring any goals). Before this streak, the Ligurians had achieved three successes in a row, the last of which was on 20 August 2017 (2-1 against Benevento). Opposite the situation of Atalanta, who won the four most recent games in their league debut: 13 goals scored (3.3 on average). The pre-season of Zapata and his companions was not good: two defeats with Newcastle and Valencia, just one success against Como.
