Before the round - trends on Italy's Serie A (24-02-2019)

As we slowly approach the end of the season in Serie A, everything seems pretty much decided and we can easily say Juventus' solid performance this season will probably bring them another Scudetto.

Sampdoria - Cagliari Calcio

A midd-tabled clash ready to kick in this Sunday, as Sampdoria host Cagliari Calcio.

It hasn't been easy for Sampdoria, who have lost 3 consecutive Serie A matches and will hope finally to break this weak record.

• Sampdoria have won 4 of their last 5 home league matches by margin of 2+ goals.
• Sampdoria have won just 1 of their last 6 league games.
• Cagliari haven't scored a goal in all of their last 3 away league matches.

• Prediction: Sampdoria @ 1.83

Chievo - Genoa

Sassuolo Calcio - SPAL 1907

Fiorentina - Inter Milano

One thrilling fixture will face Fiorentina and Inter Milano.
