Sampdoria hope to turn things around against Bologna, but the visitors are confident ahead of their trip to Marassi.
The Blucerchiati were ordered into a mini retreat ahead of the game against the Rossoblu and Roberto D’Aversa’s job is increasingly uncertain.
Manolo Gabbiadini could be out for the home side, while Sinisa Mihajlovic’s men are hoping to continue without making too many changes from the match against Cagliari.
Francesco Caputo and Fabio Quagliarella seem set to start up front for Samp, while Marko Arnautovic should continue in attack after the impressive performance last time.
