Sampdoria desperately need points on Tuesday, Oct 27 at 8:00 PM in the Serie B. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Ascoli come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Sampdoria travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 10 previous meetings, Ascoli lead 2–4 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Ascoli won 1–2.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Ascoli clear favorites, but Sampdoria have shown they can grind out results. Expect Ascoli to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
