Sampdoria are having a rough time right now. They've lost four of their last five matches, often by a clear margin, and only managed one win in that stretch. They look out of form and low on confidence at the moment.

Cremonese haven't been winning either, but they've been much harder to beat. Three of their last five games ended in draws, including a couple of goalless ones, so they're grinding out results even without finding the net much. When these two sides met recently, the games were tight and not very high-scoring. Given Sampdoria's poor run and Cremonese's habit of drawing, this looks like a close match that could easily end level — a draw seems the most likely outcome.
