This is a head-to-head for European places, as going into this weekend Samp were fourth and Fiorentina sixth, divided by Napoli.
The Viola are doing surprisingly well while balancing Europa League and Coppa Italia commitments, but stuttered ahead of the much-needed break for international duty with four points from three rounds.
Josip Ilicic is suspended, while Stefan Savic, Manuel Pasqual and Giuseppe Rossi are sidelined.
Sinisa Mihajlovic’s Samp have won four on the trot and targeting another big scalp now their front three of Eto’o, Muriel and Eder has finally gelled.
Eder will be particularly confident after scoring on his Italy debut last week to secure a 2-2 draw in Bulgaria.
History is not kind to Sampdoria at the Stadio Franchi, as they haven’t won here in Serie A for a decade, since their 2-0 result in September 2004. That was followed by five defeats and three draws.
