ROME. Three advances to the Serie A championship are scheduled today. It starts at 3 pm with Sampdoria-Empoli, then at 6 pm Roma hosts Verona, and finally at 9 pm Salernitana has to deal with Milan. In fact, it is very unlikely that leaders Milan will be worried by the new Nicola Salernitana, few problems for Pioli: his Milan should make a clear path to Salerno. The coach, however, preaches caution: «The classification is not yet true. We have to give continuity to our performances ».
Difficult challenge at the Olimpico for Roma. Mourinho prepares for the match by counting the absentees with the hope that there are no other positives in the team group (which is under strict surveillance) after yesterday’s four. Among the unavailable, considering injuries and suspensions, Mancini, Mkhitaryan, Ibanez, El Shaarawy, Shomurodov, Carles Perez, with the attack that will therefore be entrusted to Abraham. And to Zaniolo if he will recover from the quadriceps problem: “We will do a test tomorrow morning (today) and see,” says Mourinho.
Important verification for Giampaolo’s Sampdoria who, after a terrible period, raised the crest by overwhelming Sassuolo and then losing with honor against Milan. But the third to last place is just two points so the coach relies on the old guard (Quagliarella, Caputo and Candreva) to score points with Empoli who have not won for over two months.
