Sampdoria vs Monza – A finer management debut for Monza could not have been anticipated by Raffaele Palladino, who led the squad to its first victory of the year just before the break.

It wasn’t your typical victory. It was the three-pointer made by freshly promoted Monza in front of a packed U-Power Stadium against the national powerhouse Juventus.

Substitute Christian Gytkjaer’s goal late in the second half ultimately proved to be the difference, although we must admit that for the entire 90 minutes of play, Monza shockingly appeared to be a far better team.

You don’t beat such titans every day, especially not after five straight losses at the start of the season. Of course, Angel Di Maria’s red card really aided the underdogs on this particular occasion.

Was it truly a turning point for the season or Monza, or was it just a fleeting blissful moment? We’ll find out on Sunday afternoon when Palladino’s men travel to Genova to face Sampdoria in the competition’s 8th round.

Sampdoria might easily follow Monza in changing their manager, especially if this attempt fails. Le Samp and Cremonese are tied for last place in the league standings with just two points each after seven games. Can the team of Marco Giampaolo eventually recover here?

Sampdoria vs Monza – Betting Analysis

Sampdoria will rely on tradition after four head-to-head matches with Monza, winning three and drawing one. It’s important to note that these adversaries haven’t faced off in head-to-head action for 20 years.

In each of their last two victories over Monza during the Serie B season of 2000/01, Sampdoria scored four goals. To least in the 2-1 defeat at Spezia in the previous round, Sampdoria displayed some promise. They deserved more than a loss because they were the superior team on the field.

It’s difficult to imagine the hosts making a costly error once more. Despite Monza’s victory over Juventus, we think the home court advantage will be a factor here, so we’ll support Le Samp to earn their first victory of the year at 2.25 odds.
