Napoli vs Sampdoria Prediction: What should we expect from this encounter?

Napoli will face Sampdoria on 4 June 2023 in the 38th round of the Italian football championship. Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Napoli

Napoli is coming to the end of a triumphant season, but slowly the joy is giving way to anxiety as there are serious concerns about the club's future. Luciano Spalletti is ending his career in Napoli, Victor Osimhen is considering other career options, and 2022/23 Serie A Player of the Year Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's second half was markedly more modest than his first. The Bianconeri finished the campaign with two wins in the last six rounds, but not before guaranteeing themselves the league title. Neapolitans beat Bologna 2:0 last time but then lost their lead (2:2).

Sampdoria

Sampdoria has been without tournament motivation for a long time but for a completely different reason. The reason is that Sampdoria has been on a losing streak this season, and now they have to relegate to Serie B. Their last win on Matchday 27 was a 3:1 home win over Verona. The team has drawn four times in the previous ten meetings and lost six. Sampdoria played their last home game in Serie A last weekend - a 2:2 draw with Sassuolo.

Expert Betting Tips

Napoli and Sampdoria are opponents on entirely different levels at the moment. The Neapolitans are top of the table at the end of the league season, while the Genoese are bottom of the table, sitting in 17th place at the very least. Of course, Luciano Spalletti's side is the clear favorite for the upcoming clash. The mentor needs to succeed in his last game at the head of the Sky Blue, and they have not failed to beat the Magpies in their previous seven encounters.

Napoli is the highest-scoring team in Serie A at the end of the 2022/23 season. They have scored 75 goals (2.03 goals per game on average) in 37 games played, which is very high for such a long distance, but they need to improve their winning percentage in this final fixture. The fact is that Sampdoria has the worst defense in the Italian league and will therefore be unlikely to perform well in Naples.
