A win for the hosts is expected from this game if the league table is a guide to future results. The Napoli followers are hoping that the difference between 1st and Sampdoria's 20th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Insights:
  • Napoli have the most scored goals (75) in Serie A
  • Sampdoria have the fewest scored goals (24) in Serie A

Napoli have already won the league and the fans have gone wild! Even so, with the trophy already secured there could be issues regarding the team's motivation in this one. For Sampdoria it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Sampdoria form and stats

There's been little loot from Sampdoria's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 18 away games in the Serie A. Sampdoria only have 2 wins to counter their 13 defeats and 3 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

There were no winners in Sampdoria's previous match, the home game that ended 2-2 vs Sassuolo (placed 13th). Turk had red hot gloves after the game against Sassuolo, shaping the outcome of the game with six saves made. Gabbiadini, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.64. Gabbiadini scored one goal and hit five key passes.

A 1-5 defeat away at Milan before that.

The visitors have scored 12 goals from 18 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Sampdoria have conceded 41 goals in these games.
