Fifth-placed Sudtirol look to consolidate their positive start at the Stadio Druso against a Sampdoria side reeling from the dismissal of manager Bernardo Corradi.
Sudtirol sit fifth with 12 points after seven games under manager Possanzini, having made an encouraging start to the campaign. They return to Bolzano aiming to bounce back immediately after suffering their first league defeat in a 3-0 reverse away to Juve Stabia last weekend.
Sampdoria have endured a slow start, sitting 19th with four points from their opening seven fixtures. The Blucerchiati arrive in turmoil following the official sacking of Bernardo Corradi, with Marco Giampaolo lined up to take charge after a miserable run of four defeats in five matches, culminating in a 2-1 home loss against Arezzo.
