Sassuolo, Recent FormSassuolo boss Alessio Dionisi will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 3-0 away mauling from Bologna. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Bologna who had 8 attempts and 4 on target.
Dionisi will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 4 goals they've managed to net. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. Dionisi will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Sampdoria, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 home defeat by Lecce will have left the Sampdoria squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with a 57% share of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Lecce, who managed 11 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
Having scored just 1 goal in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Dejan Stanković where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table, although he will still have one eye on his defence which have shipped 10 in the same period. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 13 of their 15 league games.
Sampdoria will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row.
Sassuolo will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Sampdoria, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 4-0 defeat.
Sassuolo have managed to keep a clean sheet against i Blucerchiati in each of their previous 2 meetings at Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore.
In this away league fixture, Sampdoria has not won in the last 3 times they have played Sassuolo at Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore.
Sassuolo player Domenico Berardi will be relishing this upcoming match against Sampdoria, given he has clocked up 4 goals in the past 3 league encounters between the two sides at Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore.
With only Grégoire Defrel (Foot) and Mert Müldür (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Alessio Dionisi will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Dejan Stanković has a number of injury concerns in his Sampdoria squad to contend with: Manuel De Luca (Meniscus), Ignacio Pussetto (Physical discomfort), Abdelhamid Sabiri (Muscle) and Harry Winks (Ankle)
