Sampdoria may struggle to contain Lazio

Lazio v Sampdoria

Eleven Sports, 7.30pm Saturday

Sampdoria have struggled against the better Serie A teams this season, winning only one of their six meetings with top-half opponents and losing four, and they could be on the wrong end of a lively capital clash.

Lazio have won all four games when hosting teams below them in the division, but their unconvincing defence have managed just two clean sheets in ten league games overall.

The pair have served up some thrilling encounters in recent years, with Lazio winning the last four meetings by scorelines of 2-1, 7-3, 2-1 and 4-0, and this outing could extend that run.
