The final weekend of the Serie A season includes a top vs. bottom clash and these Napoli vs. Sampdoria predictions also involve Luciano Spalletti’s farewell in Naples. Napoli can end the campaign on 90 points with a win against rock-bottom Sampdoria.
Napoli vs. Sampdoria odds
1 – Napoli to win –1/4
2 – Napoli under 2.5 total goals – 20/21
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 2/1
4 – Both teams not to score – 19/20
5 – Napoli to win 2-0 – 13/2
Ahead of the final weekend of action in the 2022-23 Serie A campaign, the majority of battles are already settled.
Napoli clinched their first Scudetto since 1990 weeks ago, with the top four now confirmed and just one relegation spot left to be settled.
Luciano Spalletti has announced his shock decision to leave Napoli after guiding them to the title, with his team looking to sign off in style this weekend. They face the perfect opponents on the final day, as basement side Sampdoria head to Naples on the back of no wins in their last 10 games.
Napoli have eased off the gas slightly since confirming the title. But they are unbeaten in their last four home league games, including wins over Fiorentina and Inter.
As part of that powering down, their rate of goals scored has also decreased, with over 2.5 scored by Spalletti’s charges just once in their last six matches across all competitions. That is stretched out even further in terms of over 2.5 goals scored in total across 90 minutes, with just two of their last ten featuring that instance.
Defensively, they have conceded just two goals in their last four home matches, at a rate of 0.5 per 90 minutes – and a Sampdoria side which wants the season to already be over are unlikely to cause too many issues.
A routine win might not be symbolic of Spalletti’s incredible season, but it will wrap up a fine campaign on a positive note as the club plan for the future. Former Spain boss Luis Enrique has been hotly tipped to replace Spalletti on the Napoli bench as they gear up for a renewed challenge from Inter, Milan, Lazio and Juventus next season.
