The Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Sampdoria lock horns with an impressive Napoli side in an important clash at the Stadio San Paolo on Sunday.
Napoli vs Sampdoria Preview
Sampdoria are currently rooted to the bottom of the Serie A standings and have struggled to impose themselves on the top flight this season. The away side played out a 2-2 draw against Sassuolo last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Napoli, on the other hand, have enjoyed a triumphant Serie A campaign and are in excellent form this season. The Neapolitans were held to a 2-2 draw by Bologna in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Napoli vs Sampdoria Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Napoli have a good recent record against Sampdoria and have won 24 out of the last 35 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Sampdoria's four victories.
- Napoli have won their last eight matches against Sampdoria in the Serie A - they have a longer winning streak only against SPAL in the competition.

Napoli vs Sampdoria Prediction

Sampdoria are in abysmal form this season and are in desperate need of an immediate resurgence. Napoli are the better team at the moment and should be able to win this game.
