Our prediction for this Serie A match:
All eyes will be on Stadio Luigi Ferraris when Sampdoria and Napoli go head to head in the Serie A round 30. La Samp did well to hold Milan to a 1-1 draw at Stadio San Siro, with the team remaining in top ten in the standings. Claudio Ranieri’s men defeated Torino 1-0 in their last home fixture, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Napoli. Gaston Ramirez returns from suspension, while Adrien Silva is banned.
Ekdal will be assessed ahead of the kick-off, but Torregrossa is definitely out of contention with injury. The Neapolitans, on the other hand, recorded a thrilling 4-3 win over Crotone in their last league match. Genaro Gattuso’s men have been in a splendid form in the Italian top flight of late, and seeing that they want this victory more than the hosts, away win should be considered. Ghoulam should be the only absentee in the away side.
