Sampdoria will be looking to make their home advantage count as they welcome Fiorentina to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Wednesday evening, in what is a rearranged round one Serie A clash.
Both sides have come in for praise in these early season days and despite playing one game fewer than the rest, they occupy fifth and sixth place respectively in Serie A with the two on six points from their three games so far.
After a disappointing defeat away to Udinese in their belated season opener, Samp bounced back with an emphatic 3-0 hammering of Napoli the last time out at the Marassi before taking Frosinone apart with a 5-0 win on the road at the weekend.
Fiorentina’s start to the season has been similar, though they started in matchday two with a 6-1 thumping of Chievo before following that up with a 1-0 home win over Udinese, then falling at the Stadio San Paolo against Napoli last time out.
Sampdoria: Audero; Sala, Tonelli, Andersen, Murru; Barreto, Ekdal, Linetty; Caprari; Quagliarella, Defrel.
Fiorentina: Dragowski; Milenkovic, Pezzella, Vitor Hugo, Biraghi; Gerson, Veretout, Edmilson; Pjaca, Simeone, Chiesa.
