A big game at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris this coming Sunday, with both Sampdoria and Inter Milan having a lot on the line in terms of European qualification. Seventh placed Sampdoria need to keep winning if they are to haul in AC Milan for the final Europa League spot. Inter meanwhile currently sit in fifth, just one point behind Lazio who occupy the fourth Champions League position.
Sampdoria may have a problem at right-back here with both regular starter Bartosz Bereszynski and backup Jacopo Sala facing a race against time to prove their fitness.
Inter Milan are in the enviable position of having a fully fit squad to choose from.
Following a scintillating start to the season, which saw Inter Milan go unbeaten in their first 16 matches, the form of the Nerazzuri has tailed off markedly off late, with just two wins in their past 12 games. They do remain tough to beat though having only lost one of their past eight.
Sampdoria are a very good side at home, winning 10 of 14, and they remain the only team to beat Juventus's away from the Juventus Stadium this season.
A tough one to call overall, we would lean towards Sampdoria but they were so bad away at Crotone last week that its hard to be confident about them overcoming a stubborn Inter side. This looks like a draw.
Prediction: Sampdoria 2 - 2 Inter Milan
