Sampdoria vs Napoli comments and predictions: Release the pressure

Until tonight's match, Napoli was the team with the best performance in the Italian league when they won 13 matches, drew 2 and lost only 1 time after 16 matches. At the moment, the Naples team is holding the number 1 position in the rankings.

However, fans should note that pressure has begun to fall on Napoli's shoulders when Spalletti's teachers and students have just lost 0-1 to Inter Milan in the round of 16 a few days ago. At this time, the gap between Napoli and the second ranked team AC Milan has decreased to 5 points.

Of course, Napoli understands the pressure from the Milan team and they need to quickly return to the winning streak to preserve the top spot. This weekend, Osimhen and his teammates have a trip to Sampdoria's field and will not be surprised if Napoli get what they want, which is 3 points.

Remember, Sampdoria is one of three teams in the group holding the red light. After 16 matches, they only had 2 wins, 3 draws and 11 defeats. Notably, Sampdoria is one of the two teams with the highest number of defeats in the Italian league this season.

- Sampdoria: Travers; Stacey, Mepham, Stephens, Kelly; Billing, Lerma, Rothwell; Dembele, Moore, Anthony.

- Naples: Peacock-Farrell; Roberts, Harwood-Bellis, Taylor, Mattsen; Bastien, Cullen; Manuel, Brownhill, Zaroury; Barnes.
