Sampdoria

Sampdoria entered the season very weakly and was in the relegation zone for a long time, but they managed to stabilize the situation. Claudio Ranieri brought the team to 13th place in the table in 34 rounds and now it can hardly be called a candidate for elimination. There is a gap of 12 points from Lecce. It will be difficult to lose it in the remaining time.

Sampdoria managed to climb so high in the standings thanks to a successful streak, that started in the 29th round, back then Lecce was beaten away with the score 2:1. In the next five matches, Sampdoria won four victories, losing only to Atalanta. The victims were SPAL (3: 0), Udinese (3: 1), Cagliari (3: 2) and Parma (3 : 2).

In a duel with the “crusaders”, “Sampdoria” lost the first half with the score 0:2, but showed the character, that the team definitely had and snatched three points. It makes sense to note the clear progress of Federico Bonazzoli. He made a significant contribution to the salvation of the team, scoring four goals in the last three matches.

Genoa

Genoa is also disappointing this season. The team has already changed three mentors during the tournament distance, but has not yet guaranteed anything for itself. By the start of the 35th round, the "griffins" are on the 17th line in the table with 33 points. The gap from the relegation zone is four points, which does not guarantee them anything yet.

However, despite all problems, Davide Nikola's team is doing everything in their power and in general it takes points in the last rounds more or less stable, as for an outsider... Exception is the failure in the match with Torino (0: 3).

In the last round, Genoa won the most important 2: 1 victory over Lecce, thanks to which they managed to get this handicap, but ahead of the "lamp derby" there are meetings with Inter, Sassuolo and Verona. These rivals can barely be called as simple.
