SAM Vs NAP Dream11 Prediction : Tottering Napoli look to revive their season as they scour for their second straight win in domestic competition.
This is turning out to be a Serie A season where nothing is going according to script. It’s been a riveting season, one filled with twists and turns with unprecedented results springing up every season to revel us in an intriguing brand of football.
The narrative was paid testament to perfectly the last time around when Napoli and Juventus squared off against each other. A tie which was widely touted to swing in the league leaders favour saw Napoli pull off a stunning result with the 2-1 win seeing them being massively hailed for ther tenacity and reslliance.
It was a much needed result for a Napoli side on a downward spiral in the league, a showing which could end up being a defining moment to their campaign this season. Wrenching out of their ordeal of three defeats in succession, the side will be looking to emulate the same performance when they take on a waning Sampdoria side which finds itself slumped in 16th place.
Probable Winner
Sampdoria might find themselves in the trenches of the points tally, but that rhetoric won’t deter them when they come across Napoli today. They managed to pull off a draw against Sassuolo the last time around, one which will buoy them when they come across a Napoli side which is yet to stabilise its season.
We envision this tie being a draw with either side prioritising not succumbing to a defeat in this one.

Dream 11 Picks
Goal-Keeper
At the forefront of his side’s draw the last time around, Emil Audero from Sampdoria is going to be our shot stopper for this upcoming tie. The player showed resolve and fortitude infront of a slew of shots, one which sees us repose faith in him for the contest.
Defenders
With both the sides having leaky defences, the likelihood of a clean-sheet for either side is extremely unlikely. It’s a narrative which sees us limit our Dream 11 side to the bare minimum of three selections for the encounter, all of them being attacking inclined players who are more than willing of galloping down into the side’s attacking sorties.
The discourse sees us move in for the electric duo of Mario Rui and Konstantinos Manolas from the visiting team for the upcoming tie while from Sampdoria we are revelling in Nicola Murru for the encounter.
Midfielders
With the two goals and two assists to his name this season, we are roping in Piotr Zielinski as the first player in this ambit of our Dream 11 contingent from Napoli. Jose Callejon joins him as well after a solid display against Juventus in the foregone conclusion with the two bound to thrive against a Sampdoria defence way too vulnerable to losing its way.
Elsewhere, we have a reminiscent duo coming in from Sampdoria as well, one which comprises of Karol Linetty who has scored two goals and three assists and Gaston Ramirez who has come up with the three goals and one assist this season.
Strikers

The four goals and four assists for Lorenzo Insigne comes in as well from the side while Sampdoria’s leading scorer with the five goals and one assist, Fabio Quagliarella warps up our team for the day.
