Sampdoria picked up a 3-0 win over Empoli in their previous Serie A clash on Sunday and are unbeaten in their last three matches.
Caputo’s brace guided the way before Candreva found the back of the net as the visitors completed a convincing win.
With that win, Sampdoria jumped to 12th in the league table with 5 points from 4 matches and would look for some consistency.
On the other hand, Napoli beat Udinese 4-0 in their last clash as well to make it 4 wins out of 4 matches.

Prediction: Sampdoria 0-3 Napoli
Napoli’s fine start to the season makes them favourites in this clash and should be able to pick up another route win.
They have a massive advantage in the H2H record against Sampdoria as well winning 17 of the last 21 played.
Sampdoria’s indifferent start to the season shows they have plenty of scope for improvement and we do not see them troubling the visitors.
Players to watch out for: Caputo, Damsgaard, Osimhen and Insigne.
