Two games remain in the Serie A season and the action this weekend kicks off with Sampdoria hosting Sassuolo on Friday night.
Sampdoria Form GuideBottom of the league, Sampdoria have already sealed their fate for next season, and will be playing in Serie B after relegation. Six points off Cremonese above them, only a miracle will prevent the team from finishing bottom of the league, and that has to include three points from this game.
But given they've won just three games from 36 games so far this season, winning their next two seems highly unlikely. Even when the pressure was on recently, Sampdoria haven't won, with four defeats and a draw from their last five games, the season appears to be coming to a miserable end for them.
Sassuolo Form GuideSassuolo are in the middle of Serie A, with nothing to play for and that's been the same for them for a few weeks now. They've not been playing particularly well, with just one win from their last give games, a run that has seen them slide a little down the table.
Last week, Sassuolo were beaten 2-1 by Monza, while the week before that they were beaten 4-2 by Inter Milan. Goal scoring hasn't been much of an issue for them recently, but they have been conceding a lot of goals. This game puts them up against the lowest scorers in the division though, which should give them hope.
Match PredictionA game with nothing to play for, Sampdoria are seemingly set for bottom while Sassuolo continue to have nothing to play for in the middle of the pack. The away team are fancied to have a bit more quality here, and can win the game for me. They've conceded a lot recently, but face a team struggling for goals, so it's a Sassuolo win for me.
