AS Roma – Sampdoria PREDICTION & PREVIEW (19.01.2017)

Result / End: Roma / Roma

Match of the knockout of Cup Italy that faces to the Rome and the Sampdoria. At the moment there are 4 classified for the quarters: Milan, Juve, Napolés and Fiorentina.
Indicate that a single game is played, and in this case, it will be in the home of Roma, in the Olympic, so the favorite if it was already the Roma, playing in his stadium multiplies.
I have been watching odds, and simple victory at 1.36 I see short, I have been tempted to bet the Asian handicap -1.5, but I have opted for victory of the Roma rest / end. The arguments below:
On the one hand, we have the Roma, the Spalletti team that is setting a great campaign. Located in 2nd position of the escudetto with 45 points, to a point of the Juventus. Positive balance with 15 wins and 4 losses. A great streak of the Romans, in their last 7 games, 6 victories and a single defeat, against Juve in a match that could win either:
Udinese 0-1 Roma
Genova 0-1 Rome
Roma 3-1 Chievo
Juve 1-0 Roma
Lazio 0-2 Rome
Rome 3-2 Pescara

It is a very solid team behind, where it is the second team that concedes the least goals, with only 18 in all 19 matches (less than one goal per game). Great season of its goalkeeper, Szczesny, and of its central the ex- sevillista Fazio. He stands out for having a very volatile and fast midfield with people in bands like Perotti, El Shaarawy, Nainggolan, Salah, and with the baton in the center of his captain De Rossi, and dynamite up with Florenzi and Dzeko.

As I say, plantillón, that has caught cruising speed and I think it can compete the league to latodopoderosa Juventus.

To indicate, that its field, the Olympic is a true fort: 9 parties, 9 victories. He does not know defeat.

For their part, the Sampdoria is placed in a comfortable 13th position, with a negative balance of 6 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses. Very poor streak of results for Giampaolo. His last 5 matches: 3 losses and 2 draws:

Sampdoria 0-0 Empoli
Naples 2-1 Sampdoria
Sampdoria 0-0 Udinese
Chievo 2-1 Sampdoria
Sampdoria 1-2 Lazio

Indicate that outside his stadium, his level drops a lot, with a poor bag of 1 single win, 3 draws and 6 losses.

Team with interesting players, but in my opinion they are not giving the size, if we can positively highlight their media Barreto and the potugese Bruno Fernandés, and above all the danger of Quagliarella and above all, his best player, the Colombian Muriel.

For all this, I go with the victory of Rome, where I predict a match where the locals will die to death from the start to set the tie, and then with spaces to kill the match. Therefore, I see value to this bet, taking into account also the great difference of templates between both.

Greetings and for the green
