Fiorentina defender Vitor Hugo assures the defeat to Napoli “won’t knock our confidence” as they visit Sampdoria today.
It kicks off at 18.00 UK time (17.00 GMT).
This Serie A Week 1 match was originally scheduled in August, but had to be postponed as a sign of respect after the Ponte Morandi tragedy, as the bridge collapsed in Genoa, killing 42 people.
“We have started the season strong and a defeat against a title contender like Napoli won’t knock our confidence,” the defender told Sky Sport Italia after a 1-0 loss at the weekend.
“We must continue like this, because we can do really well this term. Samp have excellent strikers, but we are convinced we’ll do well.”
