Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Sampdoria, 16th position with 26 points and a negative goal difference of -14
Venezia, 19th position with 22 points and a negative goal difference of -27
Venezia lost the Serie A Week 30 game against Sampdoria on Sunday 20 March 2022 at the Pier Luigi Penzo Stadium in Venice, Italy. This defeat is just a blow for Venezia’s dream and the relegation to Serie B is closer. The victory is a boost for Sampdoria with three key points for the salvation race. In the next round, Venezia will play their last hopes for a breakthrough at La Spezia while Sampdoria will host Roma. Venezia remained with 10 players since the 86th minute after the expulsion of Henry getting a double yellow card.
Four defeats in a row for Venezia, which has not reached four in Serie A since March 2002 (in that case, two under the guidance of Giuseppe Iachini and two of Alfredo Magni).
Venezia conceded goals from 11 consecutive home games; in its history in Serie A, only once has the Venetian team recorded a longer streak without clean sheets at home: 12 between March 1950 and November 1961.
Sampdoria opened the score in the 24th minute. It is Francesco Caputo to defeat Venezia goalkeeper with a right-footed shot to the center. The assist is by Abdelhamid Sabiri.
Problems for Venezia seeing their dream for salvation vanishing… Sampdoria increased the score in the 38th minute. The hero again is Francesco Caputo with a brace this time from close range with a right-footed shot to the bottom right corner.

✅ Stats before the game. Venezia have only won two of the 11 Serie A matches against Sampdoria, both in 1962 (2-0 in both March and December); after last December’s 1-1 draw, these two teams could impact both seasonal games of a single top league for the first time in the competition. Venezia and Sampdoria have not faced each other at the home of the lagoons in Serie A since November 29, 1998, a match that ended in a white goal draw; the last home defeat of the Venetians against the Sampdoria in the competition dates back to 16 October 1949, on one of the two occasions in which they collected at least seven goals in a home match (3-7). Sampdoria have not lost in seven consecutive Serie A matches (4W, 3D) against newly promoted teams: this is for the Sampdoria the longest streak without defeats against opponents from the cadet tournament in the competition since September 2015 (11 in that case).
👉 Lineup Venezia (4-3-3): Mäenpää; Ebuhei, Caldara, Ceccaroni, Haps; Fiordilino, Ampadu; Aramu, Okereke, Nani; Henry.
👉 Sampdoria (4-3-1-2): Audero; Bereszynski, Ferrari, Colley, Murru; Candreva, Ekdal, Thorsby; Sensi, Sabiri; Caputo.
