Sampdoria will secure a 3-0 win by default in the second leg of the relegation playout game against Salernitana, thereby ensuring Serie B survival, while the Granata will play in Serie C next season.
Sampdoria secured Serie B survival after their game against Salernitana was suspended at minute 65 on Sunday night.
Sampdoria avoid Serie C relegation
The Blucerchiati were leading 2-0 in the second leg of the relegation playout, sparking anger from the Granata ultras, who threw firecrackers, smoke bombs, and seats onto the pitch, forcing police to intervene.

Samp had been relegated in the regular season, but Brescia's financial irregularities led to a point deduction for the Lombardy-based side, who were relegated to Serie C instead of Sampdoria.
The Blucerchiati had won the first-leg playout 2-0 last week, and the second-leg tie against Salernitana was postponed from Friday to Monday due to a massive food poisoning outbreak in the Granata team.
Second consecutive Salernitana relegation

Michigan football secures 2026 4-star DL Titan Davis, beating out SEC powerhouse
Michigan football already had one defensive tackle in 2026 committed in Liberty Hill (Tx.) four-star Alister Vallejo pledged to the class when he chose the Wolverines over Notre Dame. But the maize and blue have been hoping for a (literal) big target to come into the fold. But it had some fierce competition from an SEC powerhouse. 2026 St. Louis (Mo.) DeSmet four-star Titan Davis has long been between the Wolverines and Alabama, with his only official visits being to Tuscaloosa in May and Ann Arbor this weekend. It appears as if the Crimson Tide knew what was coming as it accepted a commitment from Indianapolis-based three-star DT J.J. Finch, indicating that perhaps Kalen DeBoer wasn't feeling as good about his chances with Davis. It turned out to be prescient. Davis commits to the Wolverines Following a solid official visit for Victors Weekend, Davis ended up pulling the trigger joining the maize and blue. Rated the No. 101 player in the country, regardless of position, according to the 247Sports Composite, Davis comes in at 6-foot-4.5, 270 pounds. He is listed as the 13th-best defensive lineman and second-best player in the state of Missouri. He chose Michigan over Alabama (as mentioned), as well as Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Miami, Nebraska, Oregon, Penn State, Texas, Texas A&M, USC, Wisconsin, and others. Scouting report and highlights Davis had 46 tackles with 18 for loss and nine sacks in his junior season. Here is the player breakdown from 247Sports' Andrew Ivins: Ascending defensive end with a prototypical frame that could fit into an odd or even front at the next level. Began his prep career playing quarterback before flipping to the other side of the ball and finding instant success in the trenches. Flashes the ability to separate and bypass base blocks with his lateral agility. Not the most destructive defender at this stage, but can find a flat back and shoot his hands to gain extension. Solid get-off frequently gives him an advantage in passing situations. Quick to unleash a bull-rush, but can also rip his way around the corner and has the stride length to finish. Enters senior year believed to be north of 6-foot-4, 265 pounds with adequate length in the arms. Must improve pad level and learn how to bring it every single snap, but appears to be rounding into form as he nearly doubled his production as a junior for Missouri's 6A champs. Projects as a potential multi-year contributor and possible impact player for a College Football Playoff contender. Should offer plenty of alignment flex and could very well end up finding a home on the inside depending on how the body matures. And here are his junior highlights: The current 2026 class: With Davis now in the fold, here is the class as it currently stands: Davis marks the fourth player on the defensive front to pledge to the maize and blue this cycle. The Wolverines are still targeting five-star edge rushers Carter Meadows and Julian Walker, with both having visited this weekend.
