With only 10 games played in Serie B, Carrarese aim to build on steady home form against a Sampdoria side finding their feet after a difficult start.
Carrarese sit 15th on 10 points after 10 games, seeking an immediate response under Guido Pagliuca following a 3-0 defeat away at Hellas Verona. Before that trip, the Tuscan side had enjoyed good momentum, winning three of their previous four matches with 2-1 victories over Arezzo and Modena alongside a 2-0 away win at Padova.
Sampdoria sit 19th with eight points after 10 games, having experienced a slow opening phase to the campaign. The Blucerchiati did collect three vital points last time out with a 2-0 home victory over Virtus Entella, halting a three-game winless stretch that included a 2-0 defeat at Ascoli and a heavy 4-1 loss against Avellino.
