Carrarese host Sampdoria at Stadio dei Marmi on 8 November 2026 at 19:15, looking to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat to Verona. The Giallazzurri have won three of their last ten matches across all competitions, but their home record offers genuine encouragement: they have won consecutive matches on their own ground recently. Sampdoria arrive off a 2-0 victory over Virtus Entella that ended their recent struggles, yet their away form remains a critical weakness. Luca D'Angelo's side collected just two points from their last six away matches, a statistic that exposes their vulnerability on the road.
Carrarese will be without Nicholas Bonfanti, who remains doubtful after training individually. Colin Dagba and David Vujevic have returned to full training but are unlikely to start. Sampdoria face a longer injury list: Oliver Abildgaard is doubtful, while Francesco Conti, Fabio Depaoli, Nikola Sekulov, Mattia Viti and Danel Sinani are sidelined. Manuel Cicconi is suspended and Sebastiano Esposito is not fully fit.
Form and H2H
Carrarese's last ten matches show three wins, one draw and six losses, averaging 0.90 goals for and 1.30 goals against per game. At home specifically, they have won three of their last ten, drawn one and lost six, with an average of 0.90 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per match.
Sampdoria's last ten matches produced two wins, two draws and six losses, averaging 1.00 goals for and 1.80 goals against per game. Away from home, they have won two of their last ten, drawn two and lost six, averaging 1.00 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per match. Their away record is particularly poor, with just two points collected from their last six away matches.
Best bet
Carrarese 2-0 Sampdoria stands as the main prediction. The home side's recent consecutive victories on their own ground, combined with Sampdoria's severe away form and depleted squad, create a clear edge for the Giallazzurri. Carrarese have scored in 60 percent of their recent home matches, while Sampdoria have conceded consistently on their travels. Under 3.5 goals also merits consideration given both sides' defensive vulnerabilities and the absence of key attacking personnel for the visitors.
