Napoli welcome the visitors Sampdoria in the Italian Serie A – Round 22. The match will be held on Saturday, February, 2nd, at the Stadio San Paolo (Naples).
Napoli are one of the best performers in this campaign, and they deservedly take the 2nd position in the standings. They will hardly overcome the leaders, but they have a great tally advantage over other contenders. The closest pursuers are 8 points behind. Over the span of 11 home encounters, the Naples outfit gained 9 wins and suffered no defeat. In this season, they are not allowing to the weaker sides like SPAL, Chievo, Frosinone. As for the teams from the upper table, they mostly netted to Napoli, which did not help them to avoid a loss though. What leaves no doubt is that the hosts will score in the coming match for sure. They normally make 18 hits per round, their goal difference is +21; the visitors, however, are also very effective. Napoli’s defense is not great in the air. As for the attack, the players are often flagged for offside. As far as the squad are concerned, Carlos Vinicius Santos is out on loan by Monaco, and Marko Rog is out on loan by Sevilla.

In 5 latest rounds, Sampdoria gained 10 points, they lost only once; the defeat was quite expectable, as the team welcomed the ‘Old Lady’. That time hosts were destined to face a tough challenge. Overall, Sampdoria look very decent, they take the 6th place, which is the Europa League place. The side’s main concern is that if they fail to win in the coming clash, yet 4 teams claim their position, as the table density in the positions 5th to 10th is very high. Sampdoria are great at conversion, and they fashion opportunities thanks to passes into space and individual performance. Notably, in light of the attacking combinations, they scored 27 goals and made 6 goals at set-pieces. The team will manage to score this evening.
Either side create an abundance of opportunities, and this is fruitful. The team’s goal-tally is totally same – in 21 rounds, they shipped 39 goals each. 4 previous Napoli’s home head-to-heads against Sampdoria saw goal-exchange. In all their 7 last outings, Sampdoria were effective. Tellingly, in 11 trips, they managed to net 20 goals. In our view, tonight, we may expect open football with goals at both ends.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
