With their 4 point advantage in the league table, Sampdoria fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Bologna.
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
1-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Sampdoria so far this season.

Bologna form and stats
It's not happening yet for Bologna on their Serie A travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Bologna's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Bologna failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Napoli (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 0-1. That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus Cagliari.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only two days as another away game awaits: The Coppa Italia trip to Spezia.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Bologna's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. Bologna's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 5 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Sampdoria, zero draws and six wins for Bologna. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.Top Goalscorers
