Sampdoria limps into mid-July in Serie B: the blucerchiati finish the 2025/26 season in 13th place with 44 points from 38 games (11 wins, 11 draws, 16 losses). The goal difference is -13 (35 scored, 48 conceded), while the gap to leaders Venezia stands at 38 points.

What happened at season’s end?

The final match saw Sampdoria lose 1-0 at Reggiana on 8 May 2026, a result that capped a run of two straight defeats in the last five games. Recent form reads LLWDD (last five: 1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses), a pattern that mirrors a side struggling to avoid the play-out zone until the final whistle.

Why it matters for blucerchiati fans

With 44 points in the bank, Sampdoria survived but without flair. The team mustered just 11 wins — far too few to chase higher targets — and a leaky backline that shipped 48 goals, the third-worst tally in the league. The gulf to the summit yawns wide: 38 points separate the Genoese from leaders Venezia, a gap that underlines the distance from promotion talk.

What’s next for the club?

The board faces two clear tasks: attack and defence. The 35 goals scored fall short in a league where promoted sides average over 50. The recent slide — two defeats on the bounce — demands swift answers. The summer transfer window looms large: quality recruits are a must if the club is to turn the tide and aim for a steadier survival in 2026/27.

Sampdoria closes the 2025/26 season in 13th place with 44 points, 11 wins, 11 draws and 16 losses. The side shipped 48 goals and scored 35, ending with a -13 goal difference. The gap to leaders Venezia is 38 points, while the last match ended in a 1-0 loss at Reggiana on 8 May 2026.
