Our read before the game

Sampdoria's home advantage is real, but two defensive injuries open the door for goals both ways.

Sampdoria are hard to back blind at the bottom of the table, but their home form is the one thing going right and Arezzo arrive without Mancuso up front. The bigger story is defensive: Viti's gone for the season and Sinani might follow, so goals look more likely than a tight game either way.
