Game: BOLOGNA vs SAMPDORIA
Type: Italian Serie A
Date: 8 March, 2009
PREVIEW
No matter what they do, Bologna seems to be dragged towards the relegation zone. Since losing only once in 11 matches up until January this year, they have slipped in rapid fashion (again), losing 4 out their last 5 matches recently. In all fairness, it has to be noted that most of those games were against the top 10 teams. With matches against Juventus and Roma coming up, Bologna are fully aware that this match could be decisive in their fight for survival.
Visitors Sampdoria, who thumped Inter Milan 3-0 in the Coppa Italia match, seems to have made amends after being knocked out by Metalist Kharkiv in the UEFA Cup. They hold a 100% head-to-head record against the home team here, and will be confident of their chances. The only problem could be over-confidence after the energy-sapping win over Inter.
KWIK STATS
HOME > BOLOGNA
AWAY > SAMPDORIA
THE PICK
Despite's Sampdoria's loftier position in the league, BOLOGNA looks capable of upsetting the form books to notch the much needed win at home. After all, Sampdoria are known to be poor travelers in the league.
