Debut in the Italian Cup for the Giallorossi who want to secure the pass to the quarterfinals in front of over 55,000 spectators
After the bad impression of AsRoma return to the field to face Sampdoria at 9pm. In the Italian Cup the Giallorossi have not reached the semi-final since 2017. Last year the journey was interrupted in the derby against Lazio. Defense emergency for Ranieri who doesn’t have Hummels and Mancini at his disposal in addition to Kone e Cristante. Paredes is seen again in midfield, teaming up with Pisilli. The situation linked to Dybala is taking center stage and he could say goodbye and go to the club in January Galatasaray. Forward Pellegrini on the bench, ready Zalewski and Baldanzi behind Dovbyk. But today Roma must not allow themselves distractions: “We need to wake up”, the Giallorossi coach said yesterday. The quarter-finals against Milan are up for grabs.

PREMATCH – Roma and Sampdoria arrive at this evening’s match with low spirits. Both teams have already changed three coaches in just a few months and are not sailing in safe waters in the standings. The Blucerchiati in Serie B are disappointing expectations. Roma wants to change course by doing well in the Italian Cup which currently represents the best way to reach Europe.
LATEST FROM TRIGORIA – Ranieri has to do without Hummels, Koné and Cristante. The German defender has not yet recovered from his fever, while two midfielders are out due to injury. The Frenchman played in Como with a noticeable bandage on his quadriceps and is not at his best. Bryan is still recovering from a sprained left ankle. Mancini won’t be there either as he has to serve a three-match ban.
WHERE TO SEE IT – Roma-Sampdoria, a match valid for the round of 16 of the Italian Cup, is scheduled for 9pm at the Olympic Stadium in Rome and will be visible exclusively live on Italia 1. It will also be available in streaming on Mediaset Infinity.
