⚽️ Match: Spezia – Sampdoria
⚽️ Competition: Serie A
? Date: 11.01.2020

La Spezia can only aim for salvation this season. The hosts, in fact, snatched the promotion last year by winning the Serie B playoffs, coming behind Benevento and Crotone. The yield has been mixed so far, with a decline in the past few weeks. In the last round, however, the Italian team accomplished a feat, going on to win away against Napoli 2-1, despite being in ten men for most of the second half. A result that allowed him to get out of the relegation zone, climbing to 14 points, plus two over Parma third from bottom.

Sampdoria had a mixed performance in this first part of the season. The goal of the Sampdoria is to achieve peaceful salvation compared to last year when the certainty of staying in the Italian top league came only in the last few games. The guests currently sail in the middle of the table, in eleventh place with 20 points, plus eight over Parma third from last in the relegation zone and eight less than Napoli sixth in the Europa League zone. In the last round, Claudio Ranieri’s team beat Inter at home 2-1.
