Match preview
Two sides with altogether contrasting season goals in mind are set to lock horns in a Serie A clash at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday, April 2nd.
The matchup in question will see AS Roma act as hosts, in a meeting with Sampdoria.
First, let’s take a look at the recent endeavours of the former.
Roma, for their part, headed into last week’s international break in the midst of a concerning stretch of league form.
Though the Giallorossi managed to march on to the Europa League’s quarter-finals in impressive fashion at the expense of Real Sociedad, back on the domestic front, they were condemned to defeat in three of four.
The most recent came as a particularly heavy blow, as Roger Ibanez’s early dismissal proved costly, en route to a derby day defeat at the hands of bitter rivals Lazio.

All associated with Sunday’s hosts, though, will no doubt be confident in the chances of their side securing a swift return to winning ways at the Olimpico.
This comes with upcoming opponents Sampdoria having endured nothing short of a nightmare campaign to date.
Leading into the international break, Samp found themselves in the thick of a frankly dismal run of results, culminating in no wins from eleven.
To their credit, though, the Blucerchiati did bounce back last time out, in putting fellow relegation candidates Hellas Verona to the sword at the Luigi Ferraris.
Former Southampton hitman Manolo Gabbiadini proved the star of the show, notching a brace en route to an eventual 3-1 result.
Highlighting just how badly the one-time giants of Italian football have struggled across the term, though, is the fact that they nevertheless remain a full nine points from safety.
We at 101, as a result, find it difficult to look beyond Roma as near-inevitable victors, come the full-time whistle in Italy’s capital on Sunday evening.
