Arezzo have been even more erratic. They won away at Avellino and Empoli, but lost heavily at home to Palermo, were thumped 5-0 away at Hellas Verona, and most recently shipped four in a 1-4 home defeat to Sudtirol.

Both sides arrive on the back of inconsistent runs rather than settled momentum.

Comparative Team Statistics: Sampdoria vs Arezzo

Where they sit

Sampdoria are down in 17th place with four points from five games, while Arezzo sit two spots higher in 12th on six points. Both clubs have lost three of their opening five matches, but Arezzo's extra win puts a bit of daylight between them in the table.

Squad notes

L. Insigne is Sampdoria's main attacking threat so far, with two goals in four appearances for a side that's only managed five goals across their last five league games. Henderson and Cicconi have each picked up three yellow cards this season, showing there's some rough edges in midfield.

Best scorers:

L. Insigne - 2

Penalty cards:

O. Abildgaard x 1

L. Henderson x 3

M. Cicconi x 3

Arezzo:

Penalty cards:

J. Illanes x 1

Arezzo haven't been squeaky clean either. J. Illanes has already been sent off once in four matches, and Sampdoria's Abildgaard also has a red card to his name this term.

How this could play out

Sampdoria's home form points towards a tighter, lower-scoring game rather than a shootout, given they've netted just five goals across their last five league matches. Arezzo have shown they can score on the road, but they've also leaked goals heavily in two of their last three outings.

With both defences looking shaky and neither attack firing consistently, this has the makings of an unpredictable match rather than a one-sided affair.
