Sampdoria vs Chievo Preview

1oth placed Sampdoria host struggling Genoa in this encounter.

Sampdoria have had a good season even though they will not play in Europe next season.

Finishing within the top ten would be a commendable feat for them.

They currently have 46 points from 35 league games, 4 points behind 9^th placed Torino.

They are currently on a bad run of form that has seen them go five games without a win, losing 3 and drawing 2.

Their last 3 home games have ended in disappointment as they have lost 2 and drawn 1.

They will hope to bounce back with a win in this game.

Chievo have recently picked up form which has saved them from sliding down the league table.

They are currently 12^th in the league table with 42 points from 35 league games.

They have managed to gather 4 points from their last 2 league games.

Prior to those fixtures, they lost 4 straight matches in the league.

After losing 4 straight away games, they managed to win their last away match and will hope to build on that result with a much needed win in this match.
