The two teams will be meeting for the 48th time across all competitions since 1993 and Sampdoria have dominated this rivalry. 
 
Sampdoria have recorded 21 wins compared to Udinese's 12 victories, while 14 games ended in a draw.
 
The last meeting between the two teams in the league was on 16 January 2021 and the game ended in a 2-1 win in favour of Sampdoria at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.
 
Stefano Okaka, the Udinese striker, says they should focus on their clash against Sampdoria following their 5-1 defeat to Napoli on Tuesday.
 
"It is always bad to concede five goals, especially because we are high-level professionals and we always try to win or at least make a good performance," Okaka said.
 
"We had something important to play for today and we came here to do something good but it didn't go very well.
 
"But now we have the final rush and we can reach the top half of the standings with an important win in the game we have on Sunday."
