Preview
Genoa head into this after yet another loss, this time away to Juventus 2-0 in their previous Serie A clash.
Cuadrado and Dybala scored in either half to inflict an 8th defeat of the season on Genoa, which keeps them in 19th place with 10 points.
Shevchenko has a mountain to climb as the new Genoa will need to turn things around rather than in order to help his side avoid the drop.
This was their 3rd defeat in 5 Serie A matches, leaving them in a position of vulnerability.
On the other hand, Sampdoria suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Lazio last time out and eye a winning return.
Gabbiadini scored the only goal for the hosts after Milinkovic Savic and 2 goals from Immobile put the visitors in command.
Sampdoria has now lost consecutive matches and are in 15th place with 15 points, with a keen interest to move up the table.
Being just 5 points ahead of the relegation zone, the visitors eye consistency in their performance levels.
Both sides last met in the 2020-21 Serie A season in March, where Genoa played out a home 1-1 draw.

Prediction: Genoa 0-1 Sampdoria
Since neither side are in the best of forms, we expect a cagey affair taking place.
Sampdoria must have enough in the tank to take the points from their travels here as they are the slightly better side.
The hosts are woefully out of touch and even a point here would be a magnificent result, given they are winless in their last 13 Serie A matches.
Players to watch out for: Ekuban, Hernani, Quagliarella and Gabbiadini.
