Sampdoria desperately need points on Sunday, Oct 18 at 7:30 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). S.S. Arezzo, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 3L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Sampdoria won their last outing, while S.S. Arezzo suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

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