The Serie A is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Sassuolo take on Sampdoria at the Stadio Citta del Tricolore on Saturday. Both teams have been inconsistent this year and will want to win this game.

Sampdoria are in ninth place in the Serie A standings at the moment and have not been at their best this year. The away side edged Crotone to a 1-0 victory earlier this week and will have to word in this fixture.

Sassuolo, on the other hand, are currently in eighth place in the league table and have exceeded expectations this season. The Neroverdi stunned AC Milan in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this match.


Sassuolo vs Sampdoria Head-to-Head

Sassuolo have a good record against Sampdoria and have won seven games out of a total of 19 matches played between the two teams. Sampdoria have managed only four victories against Sassuolo and will need to improve their record in this fixture.

The previous meeting between the two teams took place in December last year and ended in a 3-2 victory for Sassuolo. Sampdoria gave a good account of themselves on the day but will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
