Roma will finally play their game in hand against Sampdoria at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris tonight.
Sampdoria are the only Serie A team yet to have faced Roma this season, after heavy rains set back the original fixture. I Blucerchiati have been one of the standout teams in the league this season, with the impressive performances of the likes of Lucas Torreira attracting widespread attention. Experienced striker Fabio Quagliarella has had no difficulty finding his way to the net, with 15 goals in 20 games so far. Samp came back from the winter break with a 3-1 win over Fiorentina, courtesy of a hat trick from Quagliarella - with all three goals assisted by Gaston Ramirez. They lined up in their usual 4-3-1-2 formation. Despite their positive progress, they have had a couple of poor results, becoming only the second team this season to lose to Benevento just before the mid-season interval. However, they still sit in a very healthy 6th place in Serie A. Roma’s squad is a little depleted for the encounter, with Daniele De Rossi, Stephan El Shaarawy and Gerson just some of the names in doubt. In his pre-match press conference, Eusebio Di Francesco confirmed he may have to change the system to accommodate his fit players. Can Patrik Schick make an impact against his former club? Will Roma make the most of their long-awaited game in hand? Or will Sampdoria keep up their good season and put pressure on Roma above them? 7:45pm, tonight, and we’ll know the answers.
