Sampdoria – Modena

Sampdoria host a high‑stakes clash with fourth‑placed Modena, a team that has already amassed ten points from three wins, a draw and a single loss while boasting an eight‑to‑four goal difference. The hosts sit precariously in 18th place with just four points, their lone victory and draw offset by three defeats and a 5‑9 deficit on the scoresheet. The gap in the table underscores the urgency for Sampdoria to turn their form around, while Modena will look to extend their strong early‑season run and close the gap on the leaders. Both sides enter the encounter with contrasting fortunes, setting the stage for a potentially decisive battle in the relegation fight.
