Fiorentina host Sampdoria at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Serie A on Tuesday, with both sides being in inconsistent form of late.
Fiorentina are currently sixth in the league, seven points off the top four. Vincenzo Italiano's side are going into the game off the back of a 2-1 loss against Empoli last time out. They will look to bounce back with a win against Sampdoria.
Sampdoria, on the other hand, are 15th in the league, five points above the relegation zone. Roberto D'Aversa's side have won their last two games on the trot and will hope to take that momentum into the game against Fiorentina on Tuesday.
Both sides will be looking to win the game for different reasons and that should make for a well-contested clash.
Fiorentina vs Sampdoria Head-to-Head
It's hard to choose between the two sides based on their recent head-to-head record, with both teams having won two of their last five meetings against each other.
Sampdoria came away as 2-1 winners the last time the two sides met back in February. Fabio Quagliarella's second-half winner was enough to secure all three points on the night after Dusan Vlahovic had canceled out Keita Balde's first-half opener.
