Modena – Sampdoria

Modena host Sampdoria in what promises to be a decisive clash in the lower half of the table. Sitting fourth with ten points from three wins, one draw and a single loss, the hosts have already scored eight goals while conceding four, a record that underlines their balanced play. Sampdoria, languishing in 18th place, have managed only four points from one win, one draw and three defeats, and their goal deficit of five‑to‑nine highlights defensive frailties that could be exposed at the Stadio Alberto Braglia. The two sides have met only sparingly in recent seasons, but the gap in form and points makes this a clear test of whether Modena can consolidate a top‑four push or if Sampdoria can spark a late‑season revival. Both clubs will be keen to turn the tide—Modena to cement a European‑qualifying spot and Sampdoria to climb out of the relegation zone.
