These two teams have had some difficulties so far, but a win in this key fixture would definitely be a big help. Let's hear it for Sampdoria - Lecce!

Insights:
  • Sampdoria have the fewest scored goals (6) in Serie A
  • Lecce have scored at least twice as many goals away as Sampdoria have scored home.

Lecce have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sampdoria and Lecce.
