Sampdoria – Fiorentina

Fiorentina have a good chance of success in the away game

After four successive defeats, Fiorentina were finally able to claim victory. The Viola had previously lost to Juventus (in the cup), Salernitana, Udinese and Milan. However, on Monday, the Florentines beat Roma rather confidently and without too much difficulty. Yes, Roma were fatigued after the Conference League semi-final, but that does not detract from Fiorentina's merits. Vincenzo Italiano's side continue to fight for the Eurocup zone. After 36 rounds, the Viola sit seventh with 59 points. Roma and Atalanta have the same number of points, while Lazio are three points ahead. They face Juventus in their final fixture. Yes, the Turin side won't have much motivation, but that doesn't mean it will be easy for Fiorentina. Therefore, it is extremely important for the Italiano`s team not to lose points in the game with Sampdoria. Sampdoria, after beating Genoa in the Lantern derby, have all but guaranteed themselves a place in Serie A for next season. Then, in the next round, the team lost 2-0 to Lazio. Without the three points against the Griffons, the end of the season would have been very difficult for Marco Giampaolo's side. In the last round, the team will play against Inter and their chances of scoring, let's be frank, are not too great. Given the opponents' calendar, even a four-point lead is likely to be enough. Genoa, for example, will play against Napoli, Cagliari against Inter and Spezia against Neapolitans, but in the last round. It does not mean that now Sampdoria can relax and play half-heartedly. At this stage, however, the team clearly lacks the cohesion to face opponents from the top of the table. In the last ten rounds they have had four of those: Lazio, Roma, Juventus and Atalanta. In those matches, the Genoese have scored zero points, scored one goal and conceded ten. In their first-round clash, Fiorentina clinched a confident 3-1 win. The team is just as motivated now, and a success against Roma will only add to their confidence.
