    Napoli Predicted to Jump Back to Winning Ways Against Sampdoria
    06/01/23 4132

    The league leaders will be aiming to get back into the win column after their first loss of the Serie A season when Napoli heads to the Luigi Ferraris Stadium to meet with a Sampdoria team still searching for any sort of form that could rocket them out of the relegation zone.

    Sampdoria have struggled for form all campaign long but they are now coming into this one off the back of a rare win that sees them close the gap to five points on Spezia in their race to get out of the bottom three.

    Manolo Gabbiadini was once again here for Sampdoria in the last outing, as Tommasso Augello also scored for the club in a 2-1 win over Sassuolo.

    Domenico Berardi did score from the penalty spot, but after netting two goals in three minutes during the first half Sampdoria ran out comfortable winners.

    It was, however, just the second win of the season for the 18th-placed side and in scoring twice that day, Sampdoria have still only managed to bag eight goals across the Serie A season and lost 11 times too.

    Their only other win came in a trip to fellow strugglers Cremonese, as Omar Colley netted with 12 minutes to go in that game.

    As for Napoli, they are heading into this after their first loss in Serie A. In fact, after losing to Villarreal and Lille in friendlies where they let in three goals and four goals, respectively, they are technically on a three-game losing run.

    Napoli's first loss came at the San Siro to Inter Milan, which has now brought them to within eight points of the Naples side, as AC Milan are back to within five of them too.

    The loss for Napoli has seen the title race in Serie A get a new lease of life, while the club had just two shots on target but saw 64% of the ball at the San Siro. On the other hand, they restricted Inter to just one shot on target too, but that was Edin Dzeko's goal.

    Napoli have lost just twice all season long, however, as Liverpool defeated them in the Champions League at Anfield.

    Against a Sampdoria side that have scored only eight league goals and let in 28 too, it should be the perfect chance for Napoli to jump right back into the win column.

    Forebet predicts under 2.5 goals and a Napoli win.
