Serie B leaders Parma will look to maintain their top spot when they travel to mid-table Sampdoria. This matchday 21 will be played at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genoa on Friday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 11th with 25 points and three points behind top-eight, while the visitors are top of the table with 42 points. Sampdoria have been having an inconsistent season, although within touching distance of top-eight. A 5-3 defeat to Venezia in the last round meant they could pick up just one point from the last three league games. Yet, five wins from their last nine league games suggest they won’t be an easy rollover.

Parma are four points ahead of the chasing pack and are guaranteed to stay top, regardless of the result in this round. They are coming off a 1-1 draw in the last league match, which extended their unbeaten run to seven league games. Yet, four of those were draws, which has in fact cut short their lead at the top of the race. Their promotion bid is still intact, although Parma would be wary of winning just three of their last eight Serie B matches. There’s a bit of relief in their recent away form though, as Parma have won three of their last five Serie B road trips, losing only once.
