Sampdoria's twenty-match record reads seven wins, four draws and nine losses, with sixteen scored and twenty-four conceded. Their sample also mixes in Coppa Italia and friendly fixtures alongside league games, and the goals conceded total stands out.

Ascoli's broader form backs up their league position, while Sampdoria's defensive numbers are a concern regardless of competition.

Comparative Team Statistics: Ascoli vs Sampdoria

Head-to-head history

These two have met three times in the recorded meetings here, spanning 2022 to 2024 across Serie B and Coppa Italia. Sampdoria won the most recent one 2-1 at home, before that it was a 1-1 draw at Ascoli, and a 2-2 draw in the cup before that.

It's a small and fairly old set of results, spread across different venues and competitions, so it doesn't tell us much about how either side lines up now.

Where they sit right now

Ascoli are fifth in Serie B after five games, with three wins, a draw and a loss, scoring seven and conceding four.

Sampdoria are down in seventeenth from the same number of matches, with just one win, one draw and three defeats, and a goal difference already in the red.

Ascoli's early league position looks a lot healthier than Sampdoria's, though five games is still a small sample.

Players to watch

Ascoli's A. Silipo has three goals in five appearances, the top scoring return on show here. Sampdoria's L. Insigne has two in four, so both attacks have a player already finding the net regularly.
