Sampdoria – Sudtirol

Sampdoria host second‑placed Sudtirol in what promises to be a stark contrast of form. The hosts sit only 18th with four points from five games, having managed just one win and a solitary draw while conceding nine goals. Sudtirol, unbeaten with eleven points, have already racked up three victories and two draws, boasting a comfortable 9‑3 goal difference. The gap in recent results suggests a tough test for the Genoa side, who will need to tighten up defensively if they hope to upset the league’s current frontrunners.
