Ascoli have been tough to beat lately, with two draws in their last two matches, though they lost the three games before that. Sampdoria are in worse shape - they've lost four of their last five games, with their only win coming back in August.

Both teams have struggled to score and neither is in great form, so this looks like a tight, low-scoring game. Given Sampdoria's poor run, Ascoli are the more likely side to come away with something, so expect Ascoli to win or the match to end in a draw.
