Sampdoria has been mercurial lately with three wins and three winless performances in their last six outings. The team is currently settled in the 11th spot of the Italian top flight table, tied on points with Genoa and Cagliari.
La Samp was held to a 1-1 draw by bottom three squad Crotone last Sunday on the road at the Ezio Scida Stadium, as per ESPN.
It was a tight game right from the kickoff until Crotone forward Diego Falcinelli broke the deadlock two minutes before the half to give the hosts a one-point lead at the break.
Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes then came off the bench in the second half to score the equalizer in the 71st minute for head coach Marco Giampaolo's side.
Both teams went scoreless after that to settle for the tie and a share of a point in the overall standings.
