It's the first game of the new season for Adana Demirspor and Sampdoria. The leaf is blank, the possibilities endless.
These teams have little in common geographically as Sampdoria have to travel 3000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Adana Demirspor and Sampdoria should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Sampdoria form and stats
The last season was not a pleasant experience for Sampdoria as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 1 victory from 15 games, relegation was a fact. Sampdoria's manager Stankovic are hoping to lead the team right back to Serie A at the first attempt.
It's a day of discovery for Sampdoria as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Sampdoria have played three with the results W1-D2-L0 (win-draw-lost).
