Roma are hoping to keep up their strong form against Sampdoria following their decisive away win over Atalanta on the weekend.
The Giallorossi have won their last two games 4-1 over Atalanta and 2-0 over Spezia and Jose Mourinho’s side are hoping to get involved in the race for a top four finish this campaign, meaning they cannot afford to drop points to Roberto D’Aversa’s squad tomorrow.
Sampdoria have struggled this season, sitting only nine points ahead of the relegation zone, but an upset win away to Roma would allow the team to go into the Christmas break with a smile.
