Two teams from different tiers, but equally struggling at this stage of the season, face off in the last 32 of the Coppa Italia on Tuesday night as Salernitana host Sampdoria at Stadio Arechi, trying to turn the tide in what has been a disappointing season for both teams so far.
Salernitana go into this match on the back of a 1-0 loss to Genoa in Serie A, while Sampdoria suffered a 3-1 defeat to Sudtirol in Serie B.
Although Filippo Inzaghi's side did not start the season brilliantly, drawing three of their first five games and losing to Lecce and Torino, the last week of September was the start of a big downfall for the Garnets.
They have lost four of their last five Serie A games, failing to score in all four that ended in defeat, and currently have the second-worst defensive record in the league.
Aside from the league, Salernitana began their journey in the Coppa Italia in the round of 64 against Serie B club Ternana with a narrow 1-0 win, with the only goal of the game coming from Antonio Candreva inside the first 10 minutes.
