How do they arrive at the match between Napoli and Sampdoria?
Napoli works well from an offensive point of view but less from the defensive one: it is the first team in the history of Serie A, in fact, to score and suffer at least three goals in each of the first two days of a single Serie A championship: it is from April 2012 that the Azzurri do not collect three races in a row in the same tournament with at least three goals conceded. Sampdoria, on the other hand, must redeem the negative start with two defeats: only four times in its history it has lost all the first three Serie A matches: in 1950/51, 1970/71, 1972/73 and in 2004 / 05 (in all cases it has nevertheless maintained the category). This complicated start makes the game a challenge between the two worst defenses of the first two championship days: seven goals conceded for both; only the SPAL (22) has also undergone more shots in the mirror than the blucerchiati (18) so far. The team of Eusebio Di Francesco must acquire more concreteness in attack: he scored only one goal after the first two days, but he made 12 shots in the mirror: only six teams did better, including Napoli (14).
Which players can be protagonists?
Napoli - Sampdoria is undoubtedly the match between Fabio Quagliarella, a former Napoli and above all Neapolitan footballer (from Castellammare di Stabia). The blucerchiati captain found the goal in four of the last six Serie A appearances against Napoli, but missed the target in two of the four games played at the San Paolo in this partial. Without Milik and Insigne maybe not at the maximum, the latest Fernando Llorente could find space: the Spaniard played his first Serie A match against Sampdoria in August 2013 and against the Sampdoria has a network in four appearances, right in the first home game (Juventus-Sampdoria in January 2014). Furthermore, Sampdoria is one of the favorite targets of Lorenzo Insigne, who scored against the Ligurians six times as against Fiorentina and Milan.
