With 3 Serie A wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Sampdoria are certainly not brimming with confidence. Sampdoria are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, having lost their two previous games here.

Sampdoria's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-5 versus Fiorentina (placed 13th). Before that match, a win away at Torino.

As you see from the result above, Sampdoria suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
