Roma failing to their wake up call after the humiliating defeat in Champions League crushed by Bayern Munich with a 7-1 at the Olimpico and could not defeat either Sampdoria!!! …
Sampdoria are in paradise being by themselves in the 3rd position. It’s goalless draw 0 – 0, but for Sampdoria is a valuable point.
Here is the situation. There are 56 precedents at the Ferraris seeing Sampdoria 27 wins, Roma winning only 9, and 20 draws. Roma will look to repeat the upset when they defeated Sampdoria with a 2-0 last season on Matchday 5 with the goals by Benatia and Gervinho.
