In the last round, the Genoese, who had scored only one goal in four games, unexpectedly shot twice against Juventus in Turin. However, they conceded four and lost 2:4. Sampdoria finally managed to prove themselves in the offense, but, unfortunately, in that game, it was difficult to claim points at any rate. In general, Dejan Stankovic's team had only one victory in 2023. In the very first match of the year, they gained 2:1 against Sassuolo. After that, in 10 rounds, Sampdoria got only three draws and seven losses. Given such poor results, the team's chances of retaining the ts place in the elite could be more credible. Sampdoria sits at the bottom of the Serie A standings, 12 points behind 17th place.

Like Sampdoria, the Yellows and Blues are in the relegation zone but look like a favorite in the fight for survival. Verona leads the bottom three with a five-point gap to 17th Spezia. It is the Eagles that Verona could displace at the end of the championship.

Recall that Marco Zaffaroni's team won three times in the seventh round of the second half and failed only twice. They meet with Sampdoria with a winless streak of four games (two defeats and two draws). In the previous round, the Genoese sealed 1:1 at home with Monza. Before that, they took a critical 0:0 away with the same Spezia.

Perhaps, for Sampdoria, the upcoming game is the most important this season. A win would put them back in the race for survival, while a loss would eliminate them. However, although Verona hasn't won a single away match, Sampdoria hasn't won at home either. Moreover, the hosts failed 9 out of 13 home games. In contrast, Verona suffered seven defeats in 12 away matches and two in the last five. Most likely, Verona will earn points in the upcoming game, although a draw here is more probable. The meeting will not be productive - only two of Verona's 12 away games this season have produced more than two goals.
