Sampdoria desperately need points on Saturday, May 8 at 3:00 PM in the Serie B. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

L.R. Vicenza come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Sampdoria travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. L.R. Vicenza head into this on the back of a defeat, while Sampdoria arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — L.R. Vicenza and Sampdoria have split their 1 meetings almost evenly (0W–0D–1W). Their last encounter ended in L.R. Vicenza won 0–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow L.R. Vicenza win or a draw looks most likely.
