Catanzaro – Sampdoria

Catanzova host a struggling Sampdoria in what promises to be a tight battle at the bottom of the table, with both sides desperate for points. The home side sit 19th with just three points from five games – a solitary win and four defeats that have left them with a 5‑9 goal deficit – while Sampdoria occupy 18th, marginally better with four points after one win, one draw and three losses, also sporting a 5‑9 goal difference. Historically the two clubs have exchanged blows in a closely contested rivalry, making this fixture a potential six‑point swing that could see either side inch away from the relegation zone. With only a single point separating them, the encounter is likely to be fiercely contested, each side aware that a slip could prove costly in the fight for survival.
