Sampdoria, Recent FormA 0-0 draw against Inter Milan will be viewed as a positive outcome for Sampdoria and a valuable point into the bargain. They came away from that fixture with 35% of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Inter Milan managed 25 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
Having scored just 2 goals 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 8 in the same period. Concern will be mounting for him if his team can't end their current dry spell in front of goal at home, which now extends to 7 games. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 19 of their 22 league games.
It's been a terrible run of home form for Sampdoria, not winning any of their last 11 games at Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
Bologna, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 home defeat by Monza will have left the Bologna squad feeling a little deflated. They achieved 63% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Monza's tally of 5 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches. They have produced a defensive record this season that they won't be proud of, having conceded at least 1 goal in 19 of their 22 league matches.
It's been mixed fortunes for Bologna away from home recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
Marko Arnautović will be hoping to create problems for Sampdoria in this one, having scored 3 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Bologna.
