SDC Napoli Preview
The visitors come into this Sampdoria vs Napoli with a superb record, but with their undefeated streak recently lost. The Azzurri are in first place in the Italian championship with 41 points from 13 wins, two draws and one defeat. For now, they are the absolute leaders of Serie A and they will leave everything on the field as visitors to stay in the race for the title.
