Sampdoria’s fortunes in the season so far have been boosted by the fact that they are the best defensive side in Serie A, while French striker Gregoire Defrel’s form in front of goal has also helped the team’s cause and coming from back to back wins to face a Sassuolo side on back to back losses will have the hosts confident. For all their gains in the season, Sampdoria have not been consistent; after a losing start to the season, they registered two big wins, beating Napoli 3 – 0 and Frosinone 5 – 0 to signal a return to form but then went winless in three matches before returning with back to back wins. On the balance of play, Sampdoria will definitely be the favorites here going by recent form but they will have to be wary of Sassuolo, who are jointly the second best scoring side in the league. Sassuolo have conceded 14 times in the opening eight matches of the season and it will be interesting to see how they fair against the best defensive side. They have failed to score in just one of their last five away matches but they have managed just one clean sheet in the process and in their last 15 away matches in the league, Sassuolo have only lost five while winning eight. Sampdoria on the other hand, have lost just three of their last 15 league matches at home, two of these have been against Internazionale and one against Napoli and they have also won eight in this run. Sassuolo have beaten Sampdoria in each of the last three matches and lost in just one of the last eight meetings with Sampdoria. Actually in the 14 meetings between the two sides, Sampdoria have managed just three wins while Sassuolo have five. Six matches between the two sides have ended in draws.
