Sampdoria is in very poor form and the team needs a few more points to ensure its stay in Serie A. The team will look for the first win since six rounds against a team that is in a battle to qualify for the Champions League.
The situation for Fiorentina is quite different, as the team makes a great season in Serie A and has a real chance for the third place in the standings. Fiorentina has won 4 of its last 6 games and will pursue required three points of this visit, which will leave them in the battle for qualifying for the Champions League. It is expected, however, that the violet will face great opposition as Sampdoria`s program by the end of the season is really severe and certainly the team will try to accumulate points from its home matches.
The meeting will be quite difficult for both teams and it is quite likely that the hosts will be the more defensive one, in order to disrupt the style of play of Fiorentina. The bookies expectedly identify the guests as favorite to win this match. However, the loss for both teams is unacceptable, and the draw seems a logical outcome of this match.
