Sampdoria host Lecce at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Serie A on Saturday, looking to pick up their second win of the season.
It's been a disastrous campaign for La Samp thus far, collecting only six points from 14 games to languish second from bottom in the league standings.
The Genoa outfit won for the first time just three weeks ago following a 1-0 triumph over Cremonese on the road on matchday 11.
It seemed like a turning point for the side, but with three defeats in their next three top-flight games, that win now seems like a false dawn.
Dejan Stanković, who replaced Marco Giampaolo following his sacking, is also walking a tightrope right now and could be running out of time to change the side's fortunes.
Lecce, meanwhile, haven't covered themselves in glory either, winning just twice in 14 games to sit in 16th place with 12 points in the bag, just five clear of the bottom three.
The Giallorossi, back in Serie A for the first time since 2020, recently ended their seven-game winless run in the league to register their second win of the top-flight campaign after beating Atalanta 2-1.
