We have just two rounds of fixtures remaining in the 2021/22 Italian Serie A season and on Monday the 16th of May we have a meeting between Sampdoria and Fiorentina.
The game will take place at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris and the hosts begin the weekend in 15th place on 33 points while the visitors are in 6th place on 59 points.
Sampdoria come into the match on the back of a 2-0 defeat at Lazio last weekend. The opening goal was scored just before half-time and Lazio doubled their advantage in the 59th minute to seal maximum points.
That defeat means Sampdoria have recorded only a single victory from their 6 most recent Serie A fixtures. The win came at home against city rivals Genoa but there have been defeats at home to Roma and Salernitana and away losses to Bologna and Lazio. Sampdoria did manage to pick up a point in a recent 1-1 draw at Verona.
Home form in the league shows Sampdoria have lost 3 of their last 4 Serie A matches. There have been defeats to Juventus, Roma, and Salernitana. Sampdoria have been struggling to keep clean sheets when playing at home and they have conceded goals in 15 of their last 18 home Serie A games.
Fiorentina make the trip to the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris having defeated Roma 2-0 at home in Serie A on Monday night. It was an important win in the pursuit of European football next season and Fiorentina struck early, with both goals coming in the opening 11 minutes of the match.
It was crucial for Fiorentina to get back to winning ways having previously lost 4 games in succession, 3 of which were in Serie A.
There were defeats at Salernitana and AC Milan plus a disappointing 4-0 loss at home to Udinese. Fiorentina were also eliminated from the Coppa Italia at the semi-final stage by Juventus.
Away form in Serie A shows Fiorentina have won only 1 of their last 5 league games on the road. They have lost 3 of their last 5 away Serie A matches and have seen both teams score in 6 of their last 7 away league fixtures.
Team news and Sampdoria are expected to be without injured midfielder Stefano Sensi. They also have doubts over the fitness of Manolo Gabbiadini.
Fiorentina could be without the injured duo of Álvaro Odriozola and Gaetano Castrovilli but the former could return in time for the game.
Sampdoria have been in poor form for some time and come up against a team in pursuit of European football. Sampdoria have trouble conceding goals and we expect Fiorentina to find the back of the net in this match, with 2 goals likely to be enough to win the game.
