In the final game of the opening weekend in Serie A, last season’s runners-up are looking to make a similar start to a year ago. Their title charge fizzled out at the turn of the year, but Stefano Pioli’s men will be looking to challenge for it once again. Sampdoria’s competitive campaign is already up and running after they beat Alessandria 3-2 to progress into the second round of the Coppa Italia, and new manager Roberto D’Aversa will be hoping for another good result to start off their season here.
