Roma

Roma’s striker Nikola Kalinić made his statement with two scored goals.
U.C. Sampdoria

The Genoese have reached the 16th place so far and are 5 points away from the relegation zone. As to last 5 fixtures, Sampdoria got two wins and two losses. In the last round, the Doriani had away 2:1 loss to Inter.
