Mathematically relegated Sampdoria leave Serie A in front of their own fans against Sassuolo, which is irrelevant even for the visitors, who are in the neutral zone of the rankings.

Sampdoria sit in bottom 20th place with just 18 points from 36 matches and were mathematically relegated three rounds ago after losing 0-2 to Udinese (they have since drawn at home to Empoli 1-1 and lost away to Milan 1-5).

Sampdoria currently hold all the negative records in Serie A: they have the fewest wins (3), the most losses (24), the weakest attack (22 goals scored) and the weakest defense (67 goals conceded).

The side coached by Dejan Stankovic, whose resignation was rejected, were relegated to Serie B for the fifth time in their history after 12 years in Serie A.

In addition, Sampdoria has faced major financial problems and is waiting to be taken over by a foreign investor after Massimo Ferrero, who also has problems with justice, stepped down as the club’s manager (if he does not benefit from the capital increase, he will go bankrupt and will join the amateurs of Series D).

Sampdoria has a league title (1991), four Italian Cups, an Italian Super Cup (1991) and a Cup Winners’ Cup (1990).

Sassuolo are in 13th place with 44 points and are coming off a home defeat, a 1-2 draw with Monza, and have registered a win, a draw and three defeats in their last five league matches.

Sassuolo, coached by Alessio Dionysi for two years, were promoted to Serie A for the first time in the summer of 2013 and are now preparing for their 11th consecutive season in Italian football’s elite.

In a tour match between the two teams on 4 January 2023, Sampdoria won 2-1 at Sassuolo after goals from Gabbiadini (25) and Augello (28) respectively, Berardi (64p) .
