The break came at a good time for Sassuolo, who were going through a period of very poor form, before the break for the World Cup. They suffered five defeats in the last seven rounds before the break. Thus, the period of almost two months without games offered coach Alessio Dionisi the opportunity to try to get the team back on track. They are currently in 15th place in the table, that is, 3 places away from the danger zone, but since the teams that are in the danger zone play very badly and have very small number of points, at this moment Sassuolo does not have to worry about survival. However, if they don't improve their game and start recording better results, that could change as well. Today, they welcome Sampdoria to their home ground, which is in huge trouble this year. The very fact that Sassuolo is the host of this game can be one of their advantages. They have experienced only two defeats at home this season and it is very difficult to beat them when they play in front of their fans. Although Sassuolo does not have much more points won than today's opponent, I honestly think that they have a better team and that they are a much more stable team at the moment.

Sampdoria made a change of technical command just before the break for the World Cup. Former player of Inter and Lazio, Dejan Stanković was brought to the position of coach at a very ungrateful moment. The break due to the World Cup gave him time to try to implement his tactical planning more deeply in search of the miracle that seems to be necessary to prevent Sampdoria from being relegated to Serie B. They played 5 friendly matches and it seems really commendable that they did not experience no defeat. But if we look at the teams they played against, the big question is whether victories against such teams can prepare them in a good way for tough games against the best Italian clubs. They played matches against teams from Kazakhstan, the South African Republic and two more matches against lower-class clubs from Germany and Italy. They have lost their last 4 league matches and with only 6 points after 15 rounds, they occupy the penultimate position. They are by far the most ineffective team in the league with only 6 goals scored. In this match, they will not be able to count on a large number of players, among whom the most famous are Filip Djuricic and the experienced Quagliarella, whose absence will certainly be felt. Having shown the potential to play at a higher level, I think that Sassuolo has a better chance of winning this match.

对于萨索洛来说，这是一个很好的休息时间，他们正在经历一段非常糟糕的状态，在世界杯休息之前。在中场休息前的最后七轮比赛中，他们遭遇了五场失利。因此，将近两个月没有比赛的时间给了主教练迪奥尼西一个让球队回到正轨的机会。他们目前排在积分榜第15位，也就是距离危险区还有3个名次，但由于处于危险区的球队踢得非常糟糕，积分也非常少，所以此时萨索洛根本不用担心生存问题。然而，如果他们不提高他们的比赛并开始记录更好的结果，这种情况也可能会改变。今天，他们欢迎桑普多利亚来到他们的主场，桑普多利亚今年陷入了巨大的麻烦。萨索洛是这场比赛的东道主，这一事实可能是他们的优势之一。他们本赛季只在主场输了两场，当他们在球迷面前比赛时，想要击败他们是非常困难的。虽然萨索洛并没有比今天的对手多赢多少分，但我真的认为他们有一支更好的球队，他们目前是一支更稳定的球队。

桑普多利亚在世界杯休息前改变了技术指挥。前国米和拉齐奥球员，德扬·斯坦科维奇在一个非常忘恩负义的时刻被带到教练的位置上。世界杯的间歇期让他有时间更深入地实施他的战术计划，寻找阻止桑普多利亚降级为乙级所必需的奇迹。他们打了5场友谊赛，他们没有经历失败，这似乎真的很值得称赞。但如果我们看看他们的对手，最大的问题是，战胜这样的球队是否能让他们为对阵意大利顶级俱乐部的艰苦比赛做好准备。他们与来自哈萨克斯坦、南非共和国的球队进行了比赛，还与来自德国和意大利的低级俱乐部进行了两场比赛。他们已经输掉了最近4场联赛，15轮过后仅积6分，排名倒数第二。到目前为止，他们是联赛中效率最低的球队，只进了6球。在这场比赛中，他们将无法指望大量的球员，其中最著名的是菲利普·德尤里奇奇和经验丰富的夸利亚雷拉，他们的缺席肯定会让人感到遗憾。萨索洛已经展现出了更高水平的潜力，我认为他更有可能赢得这场比赛。
