Sampdoria – Carrarese

Sampdoria host bottom‑of‑the‑table Carrarese in a clash that could prove decisive for the Genoese side’s slim hopes of climbing out of the relegation zone. Sitting 18th with four points from five games – a solitary win, a draw and three defeats, and a goal difference of minus five (5‑9) – Sampdoria will be desperate to turn their fortunes around. Carrarese, languishing in 20th place with just a single point after five outings (no wins, one draw, four losses and a 2‑6 deficit), will be looking for a rare breakthrough. The two teams have already exchanged blows this season, and a positive result for either side could dramatically reshape the lower end of the table.
