Check out the probable line-ups for Sampdoria–Atalanta and Monza Torino.
Samp host Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta at 17.30 UK time, while Monza play their first ever Serie A game against the Granata at 19.45,
Sampdoria lost the first official game of the season in the last four years and are the team with the most defeats in Serie A in 2022 (13 out of 19). Atalanta’s Caleb Okoli (21) could make his Serie A debut, while La Dea’s only significant signing of the summer – Ederson – is out of action with an injury.
Probable line-ups: Sampdoria vs. Atalanta
Sampdoria (4-1-4-1): Audero; Bereszynski, Ferrari, Colley, Augello; Vieira; Leris, Rincon, Sabiri, Djuricic; Caputo.
Atalanta (3-4-1-2): Musso; Toloi, Okoli, Djimsiti; Hateboer, De Roon, Koopmeiners, Maehle; Pasalic; Zapata, Muriel.
The transfer window has been very different for Monza and Torino. The Brianzoli have signed more than ten players with proven Serie A experience and most of them will start tonight.
On the other hand, Ivan Juric has often complained that his Torino side is still not complete. He was involved in a scuffle with Torino director Davide Vagnati last month. The Granata haven’t yet signed a replacement for Gleison Bremer while Sasa Lukic has asked to leave and wasn’t called up for tonight’s game.
Probable line-ups: Monza vs. Torino
Monza (3-5-2): Cragno; Marlon, A. Ranocchia, Marì; Birindelli, Sensi, Barberis, Valoti, Carlos Augusto; Caprari, Gytkjær.
Torino (3-5-2): Milinkovic; Djidji, Adopo, Rodriguez; Singo, Linetty, Ricci, Aina; Miranchuk, Radonjic; Sanabria.
