Manolo Gabbiadini starts in Sampdoria‘s attack in the Liguria derby against M’Bala Nzola’s Spezia.
It kicks off at 19:45 at the Stadio Ferraris in Genoa.
Sampdoria sit rock bottom of the table but have avoided defeat in five of the last 10 Serie A games, as many times as in the opening 20 matches this season.
Spezia saw Hellas Verona catch them on Friday night thanks to a 2-1 win over Bologna. The Aquilotti have three wins, one draw and one defeat in the previous five Serie A meetings with the Blucerchiati, but have never won at the Ferraris.
Abdelhamid Sabiri is suspended for Samp, while Emil Audero, Andrea Conti and Ignacio Pussetto are injured.
Spezia boss Leonardo Semplici sees Simone Bastoni return to action but is without the injured Emil Holm, Julius Beck, Joao Moutinho and Szymon Zurkowski.
The Aquilotti have only won one game from the last 12 and haven’t secured three points away from home since January 15.
