Pisa – Sampdoria

Pisa host Sampdoria in what promises to be a crucial clash in the lower half of the table, with the hosts sitting tenth on seven points after two wins, a draw and two defeats, their goal tally perfectly balanced at eight each. Sampdoria, languishing in eighteenth place with four points from one win, one draw and three losses and a -4 goal difference, will be desperate to close the gap to safety. The two sides have exchanged blows evenly this season, each having scored and conceded the same number of goals, suggesting a tightly contested encounter. A positive result for Pisa could cement a push towards the mid‑table, while Sampdoria will need all three points to keep their relegation hopes alive.
