Sampdoria vs Napoli
2016/17 Italian Serie A.
Date: Sunday, 28 May 2017
Kick-Off: 17:00 UK,
Venue: Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris (Genoa).

Napoli will hope to pip Roma to second spot as they travel to face Sampdoria, but considering that the Giallorossi are welcoming struggling Genoa, that may not be possible.

The Partenopei won’t just need to beat Sampdoria – something they are heavy favorites to do – but also will have to hope that Samp’s cross town rivals Genoa can draw, or even better, defeat Roma. Given how badly the Grifone have fared this season, especially in their travels, it seems highly unlikely that an upset will be staged at the Stadio Olimpico. In any case, Napoli will hope to end this campaign on a high note after winning eight out of their last nine fixtures and come into this game having earned a resounding victory over Fiorentina.

Sampdoria, however, are a stronger side than Genoa. The Blucerchiati may be winless in their past seven, but overall have a decent defensive record at their home ground. They have shipped two goals at home in just five games, whilst they have conceded one or less in their other 13. Napoli do have the strongest attack in the division, but they may have to work harder here to seal all three points.

That being said, Napoli crushed Torino 5-0 in their last road fixture, and scored three against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. And let’s not forget their 7-1 hammering of Bologna in another road fixture, so Sampdoria will be best on their guard for this one.

Sampdoria vs Napoli: Prediction

Napoli have won eight out of their last nine away games, whilst netting at least two goals in all but one out of their last 12 road fixtures. The Partenopei also have won four out of their last six meetings with Sampdoria, and four out of their last five at this ground. Sampdoria have struggled against Napoli here and are in yet another rut, but may be able to nick a goal as Napoli generally don’t keep clean sheets in their travels.
