Form Guide & Team Overview
Sampdoria
Sampdoria’s recent form has been a mixed bag, with two wins, a draw, and a loss in their last four matches. Their victories against Pescara and Empoli showcased their ability to grind out results, but the heavy defeat to Monza highlighted some defensive vulnerabilities. The recent draw against Cesena might have dented their momentum slightly, but overall, they seem to be in a decent position to push for a win against a struggling Südtirol side.Sampdoria’s recent form has been a mixed bag, with two wins, a draw, and a loss in their last four matches.
