5 years ago 925

Both Sampdoria and Salernitana will be looking to bounce back in Serie A when they lock horns in their Matchday 33 tie at Luigi Ferraris on Saturday afternoon with kickoff at 15:30 EAT.

Sampdoria were left empty-handed again in Serie A as they fell to a 2-0 defeat to Bologna at away last weekend. They have now recorded back-to-back defeats in the division, while have now lost five of their last six league matches.

The run sums up their form in Serie A this season really with the side only claiming just nine victories from 32 matches so far, while have drawn five and lost 19 in the process, and they currently sit 16 just two places and seven points off the relegation zone.

With six matches remaining to go, Sampdoria will fancy their chances of surviving the league especially that all the sides below them are currently struggling for points and the ways things look right now a victory here for I Blucerchiati could be vital in sealing their survival.

Sampdoria have won each of their last five meetings against Salernitana across all competitions, keeping clean sheets in each of their last four – including a 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture and they should be confident of extending that run here.

Salernitana have continued to find things difficult in Serie A and currently look set for an immediate return to Serie B. they have only managed three victories in from their 30 matches so far in the top flight, while recording seven draws and suffering 20 defeats in the process, and currently sit at the bottom of the table with just 16 points.

They head into the match in poor form having failed to win any of their last 11 Serie A matches, suffering seven defeats in the run and are coming off a three-match losing streak. The run has them sitting nine points adrift of safety and with just six matches remaining Salernitana need to bounce back to winning ways if they are to stand a chance of salvaging their miserable campaign.
