Sampdoria with a wake-up call to start earning points towards salvation. Sampdoria wasted the chance to win the Serie A Week 31 game ending with a draw against Spezia on Saturday 22 April 2023 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genoa, Italy. A point that Sampdoria doesn’t need, yet, a draw that brings Spezia closer to salvation. 1-1 in the final, Verde responds to Amione’s goal in the second half. Both teams tried to win until the end, with Zoet and Ravaglia as protagonists, able to save their own goals.
Sampdoria opened the score in the 23rd minute. Bruno Amione defeated Spezia goalkeeper Zoet with a headed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Tommaso Augello following a corner conceded by Dimitrios Nikolaou

✅ Stats before the game: Among the teams they have faced at least five times in Serie A, Sampdoria is the only one against which Spezia have always found the goal: three wins for the Aquilotti, a draw and a success for the Sampdoria in the previous five. Spezia’s three victories over Sampdoria in Serie A have reached the peak: in fact, at Ferraris a draw and a 2-1 victory for the Dorians (in both matches the Sampdoria team scored exactly two goals). Spezia have won four of the nine Serie A derbies against Ligurian teams (D2, L3), against opponents from no region they have achieved more victories in the top division (four also against teams from Campania, but in 12 previously). In the last 10 matches, Sampdoria managed to avoid defeat five times (W1, D4), as many as in the first 20 games of this championship (W2, D3). Spezia have won only one of their last 12 league days (against Inter) and haven’t found the three away points since January 15 against Turin
👉 Lineup Sampdoria (3-4-2-1) – Ravaglia; Gunter, Murillo, Amione; Zanoli, Winks, Rincon, Augello; Leris, Gabbiadini; Lammers.
👉 Lineup Spezia (4-3-3) – Zoet; Amian, Wisniewski, Nikolaou, Bastoni; Bourabia, Esposito, Ekdal; Gyasi, Nzola, Maldini.
