In the aftermath of a 5-1 away mauling at the hands of AC Milan, the Sampdoria team will need to refocus and rebuild confidence among the team.  In that game they had 38% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to AC Milan who had 19 attempts and 9 on target.  

Manager Dejan Stanković will be looking to hit the reset button after his team's terrible performances in their last 6 games, having scored only 3 goals, conceded 16, and picked up a meagre 2 points.  They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games, and playing at home this season, they have conceded at least one goal in 11 of their 18 games.  

A win for Sampdoria is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 9 games.

The 2-1 home defeat to Monza will not have sat easily with the Sassuolo squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 45%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Monza had 17 shots on goal with 6 on target.  

Their boss Alessio Dionisi is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 13 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 6 goals scored.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.  

Goalscorer Domenico Berardi will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Sassuolo.
