Lowly Sampdoria trudges to a raucous Naples to face one of Europe’s best in Victor Osimhen and Napoli. The visitors will be rightfully concerned.

Napoli too strong after Scudetto win
Let’s start our Napoli vs Sampdoria predictions off right. Napoli have lost just two matches at home this season. Interestingly, they’ve only lost two games on the road, too.
It has been a dominant campaign from start to finish, and you’d expect Luciano Spalletti to want to end the season the right way.
The Scudetto-winning head coach announced this week that he would leave Napoli in the summer. He’ll take time off from the sport after a monumental achievement in Naples.
That informs the Napoli vs Sampdoria tips. It makes you think that the players will be intent on running through brick walls one last time for Spalletti.
If that isn’t the narrative peddled in the dressing room beforehand, then Napoli will be missing a trick. Regardless of the want to end the season correctly, Napoli faces a Sampdoria team heading to Serie B.
Relegation looms because they’ve been poor both offensively and defensively all season long. Don’t expect that to switch amidst a carnival-like atmosphere in the curtain-raiser.

Monstrous Osimhen Showing No Signs of Stopping
It has been a dominant season for Napoli. We can see that by a quick peek at the Serie A table. Similarly, Victor Osimhen’s monstrous campaign has catapulted both himself and Napoli into the conversation for Europe’s best.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t translate that form into European competition, though it has been a different story in Italy. Osimhen has plundered 25 goals in 31 appearances.
He may not be done yet. The Scudetto is won, but Osimhen still has the hunger and belief that he can find the net. He’s the favourite in the Napoli vs Sampdoria odds for good reason.
In Bologna at the weekend, Osimhen scored twice. That brace has put him four goals ahead of Inter’s Lautaro Martinez (21) in second in the hunt for the Serie A top goalscorer accolade. He was a long shot for the Capocannoniere which made it one of the best Serie A tips this season.
So, the job is done personally, too, but don’t be surprised if Osimhen has more to give. After all, he did score the opener against Sampdoria after just 19 minutes back in January.

Lowly Sampdoria Leaking High Quality Chances
Look, if Victor Osimhen continues his head-turning form, Napoli will get chances. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will likely start the game after his early sub against Bologna. With the Georgian and Osimhen in tandem against the league’s worst team (20th), we can expect goals.
The January meeting between the two ended 0-2. They may have only forced two goals, but Napoli ended with a 3.31xG (expected goals) total from 24 shots to Sampdoria’s nine. It was one-way traffic.
In Sampdoria’s most recent outing against Sassuolo, they conceded 22 shots. In the matches before Sassuolo’s visit, AC Milan hit them for 19, and Empoli managed 17.
This isn’t a team shutting up shop with life in Serie B in mind. It’s a lowly outfit wishing for the final whistle on the final day to come as soon as possible. Sampdoria needs to be put out of their misery, and one would assume there may be more coming their way.
If Napoli score three or more goals, this bet wins. That’s where we round off the Napoly vs Sampdoria tips.
