Sampdoria desperately need points on Sunday, Dec 27 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). Hellas Verona, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

History strongly favours Sampdoria here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Hellas Verona, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Sampdoria won 3–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

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