Sampdoria desperately need points on Saturday, Feb 6 at 3:00 PM in the Serie B. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Sampdoria come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Ascoli, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

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

Verdict: Ascoli's quality should tell even on the road. Sampdoria will push, but the visitors have too much class. Ascoli to win.
