It’s the last chance saloon for rock-bottom Sampdoria, but both the Blucerchiati and Verona go into this relegation dogfight without a host of players.
It kicks off at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris at 11.30 GMT.
They are both in the bottom three on 12 and 19 points respectively, divided by Cremonese in penultimate place on 13 after they already played a draw with Monza on Saturday.
Dejan Stankovic has so far been unable to turn things around in Genoa and he hasn’t been helped by a decimated squad.
Tomas Rincon is suspended, with Emil Audero, Sam Lammers, Ignacio Pussetto, Andrea Conti and Manuel De Luca injured.
Manolo Gabbiadini leads the way with Filip Djuricic given another chance in midfield and 19-year-old Martin Turk in goal.
Verona aren’t doing much better, missing Simone Verdi, Isak Hien, Cyril Ngonge, Thomas Henry and Ajdin Hrustic.
Josh Doig gets the nod on the left wing with Milan Djuric starting up front and Kevin Lasagna initially on the bench.
