Sampdoria vs Lazio prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22
The Serie A returns to the fold with another set of fixtures this weekend as Lazio lock horns with Sampdoria on Sunday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and have a point to prove in this match.
Sampdoria are in 15th place in the Serie A standings and have largely failed to meet expectations this season. The home side suffered a 3-1 defeat against Fiorentina this week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Lazio, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and are yet to hit their stride in the Serie A. The Biancocelesti played out an entertaining 4-4 draw with Udinese in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
