Napoli are on the third spot in Serie A with a chance to go up, but also with Fiorentina breathing by their neck with only three points behind. Napoli need wins against weaker teams and at San Paolo they just must not fail, even with in-form Sampdoria visiting them.

Napoli invested the money they’ve earned by selling Cavani, in bringing several brilliant players. Gonzalo Higuain and José Callejón are just some of those players but are the best examples as the two scored 17 goals between them. Napoli failed to win against Cagliari in their last game in the 2013 and are now looking to compensate for that draw. They will be once again without Marek Hamsik, but even with that loss, they are huge favorites to win against Sampdoria.

Since the arrival of Sinisa Mihajlovic on their post, Sampdoria are without a loss. They won three and draw three games with the Serbian manager leading the team. It is really a great success knowing that they’ve played against some top Italian teams like Internazionale and Lazio. Now they travel to Naples to try to make a surprise. They will certainly try to keep their sheet clean and to look for their chances from the counterattacks.

Napoli-Sampdoria Prediction

Sampdoria are flying high right now, but I’m sure Napoli will show them where they belong. A home win is certain, while the number of goals is hard to guess.
