Analysis of the match between Spezia and Sampdoria
Although both Spezia and Sampdoria are set to compete in the 2025/26 Serie B season, their immediate focus shifts to the Coppa Italia, where they must battle each other for a spot in the next round.
Spezia, working with a limited budget this summer, spent just €600,000 to bring in Giuseppe Aurelio and Mouhamadou Sarr. Their remaining signings include three free transfers and four loan deals, highlighting their financial constraints.
On the other hand, Sampdoria made a clear statement of intent by spending €8.68 million on new signings as they aim for promotion back to Serie A in the 2026/27 season. Their stronger squad and ambitious project make them clear favorites going into this match, despite playing away from home.
Recent form also paints a contrasting picture between the two sides. Sampdoria are unbeaten in their last six matches, whereas Spezia have managed only three wins in their last six outings. At home, Spezia have won just two of their last four competitive games.
With a deeper squad, higher quality across the pitch, and better momentum, Sampdoria are expected to come out on top and secure a place in the next round of the Coppa Italia.
