After a goalless draw with Juventus, the home team suffered a heavy defeat at home against Salernitana 4-0. It was another unconvincing game by Doria that did not open the season well. The defence conceded all four goals too easily, and they will have to work a lot on that because Ciro Immobile, one of the best strikers in the league, is coming as a guest. For many football connoisseurs, it's a big surprise because Sampdoria has a good team and surely in the case of a negative result today, coach Marco Gianpaolo will be replaced, who is criticized a lot for the way he plays in Italian media. In the last round, Lazio beat Inter in the derby at Olimpico with a score of 3-1. It was a strong performance from Lazio, everything worked well, especially in the final third and most importantly, the players were very aggressive on the ball. "Sky Blues" have not lost since the start of the season, they are in 5th place in Serie A, with seven collected points and a goal difference of 5-2. The Romans defeated the host in the previous three meetings between the teams and they enter this game as clear favourites. Sampdoria has not scored a goal in the last three rounds, another failure would pin them to the bottom of the table. I certainly expect an interesting and uncertain match at the Luigi Ferraris stadium, but right now I would give preference to Lazio, who will perhaps use the confidence gained by the victory against Inter. Sampdoria must open up, they really need points, so you can try both teams to score.

My prediction;

Outcome: Lazio to win
