GEN vs SAM Dream11 Prediction for Genoa vs Sampdoria Serie A Live Score Fantasy Football Tips & Dream11 Team

GEN vs SAM Dream11: Serie A action rolls onto a action-packed December, as there are three matchdays before all teams head out for a break. Genoa are languishing on the 19th spot in the league table, being 2 points away from safety. Genoa’s last victory came against Cagliari way back in September, and they have struggled with their form ever since. Six losses and seven draws is all they could manage in the last three months of football.

Sampdoria have not been too impressive either, as they are currently placed 15th on the points table. They come into the fixture on the back of two consecutive defeats to Lazio and Fiorentina. It is a vital match for Sampdoria, given that they could want to keep away from the relegation battle.

Date: 11 December, Saturday
Kick-Off: 01:15 AM (IST)

Captain Options

Antonio Candreva is a good pick for captaincy, given that he has been a standout player in Sampdoria’s dismal start to the campaign. The winger has six goals and four assists so far this season.

Fabio Quagliarella could be another sound captaincy pick. So far, he has gotten off to a slow start this campaign, scoring three goals and delivering one assist.

Differential Pick

Flavio Junior, striker for Genoa is our differential pick for this Serie A game.

Goalkeeper – Salvatore Sirigu
Defenders – B.Bereszynski, D. Biraschi, M. Bani
Midfielders – A. Candreva, V. Behrami, Hernani, M.Thorsby
Forwards – M. Gabbiadini, F. Bianchi, F. Quagliarella

Who will win today’s football match?

• Genoa were defeated by Juventus in their last game, whereas, Sampdoria were defeated by Lazio.
• There were positive signs for Genoa in their 2-0 loss, as they defended pretty well, although their attack needs much more improvement.
• Sampdoria are the favorites to claim the victory over Genoa, who are winless in over three months.

We are going for a Sampdoria win in this game.
