Sampdoria are currently in 18th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best this season. The home side suffered a 3-0 defeat against Inter Milan last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, are in 13th place in the league table at the moment and are yet to hit their stride in the Serie A this season. La Viola edged Spezia to a 2-1 victory in their previous league game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
