Sampdoria, Recent FormSampdoria will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 away win against Sassuolo. During that encounter they had 32% possession and had 9 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 16 shots on goal.
Having conceded 10 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 6 points. Having not hit the back of the net in 4 games, the goals seem to have dried up for them recently when playing at home. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 14 of their 16 league matches this season.
Serious concerns will be mounting for i Blucerchiati, having gone without a home league win in their last 8 games and losing the last 5 games in a row at Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
Napoli, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Napoli players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Inter Milan. They came away from that fixture with a 63% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Inter Milan, who managed 6 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
With 12 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Luciano Spalletti will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 4 goals in the same period. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
It has been a decent run of form for them recently, notching up 5 wins from the previous 6 matches. It's been a good season so far with them having won 13 of their 16 league games.
On an individual basis, Victor Osimhen will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 6 goals in Napoli's last 6 league games.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Napoli running out winners in a match that ended 1-0.
Goals should be on the cards for Partenopei in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Sampdoria in their last 7 meetings together. On each of the last 3 outings between Sampdoria and Partenopei in the league, Sampdoria have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals. i Blucerchiati have struggled to keep Napoli at bay when these two teams have met at Stadio Luigi Ferraris, during the last 3 times they have hosted Napoli in the league, they have conceded a total of 10 goals.
Sampdoria will be desperate to get some points from this game, having lost the last 7 times they've faced Napoli in the league.
Sampdoria manager Dejan Stanković has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Manuel De Luca (Meniscus), Ignacio Pussetto (Physical discomfort), Fabio Quagliarella (Knee) and Harry Winks (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
