Sampdoria took only one point from the last four Serie A outings and dropped to the 17th place in the standings as a consequence.
Their latest failure came after the international break when Roberto D’Aversa’s men fell 3-1 away at Cagliiari.
It was a highly disappointing result for the former Parma manager who also got sent off in the dying minutes of the contest.
D’Aversa will thus not be allowed to be on Sampdoria’s bench on Friday evening when his team play host to Spezia in the 9th round of the competition.
The hosts will be desperate to get their league campaign up and running with a result against the bottom-half rivals at their Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.
Spezia jumped above Le Samp in the league ladder after a 2-1 victory over the rock-bottomed Saleernitana six days ago.
However, the visitors still boast the worst defensive record in the division with 20 goals conceded in 8 outings.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

桑普多利亚在过去的四场意甲比赛中只拿了一分，因此排名下降到第17位。
他们最近的一次失利是在国际比赛之后，罗伯托·达维萨的球队在客场3-1负于卡利亚里。
对于这位前帕尔马主帅来说，这是一个非常令人失望的结果，他也在比赛的最后几分钟被罚下场。
因此，在周五晚上桑普多利亚主场迎战斯佩齐亚的比赛中，达维萨将不会被允许坐在替补席上。
主队将会迫切的想要在他们的路易吉·法拉利球场上的比赛中取得一个好成绩，从而使他们的联赛继续进行下去。
斯佩齐亚在6天前以2-1战胜了联赛垫底的萨勒尼塔纳后，在联赛排名中超越了勒桑普。
然而，客队在8场比赛中丢了20个球，仍然是联赛中防守最差的球队。
