Genoa president Enrico Preziosi is hopeful his side can win a third consecutive Derby della Lanterna against Sampdoria on Saturday evening, after the Grifoni were the victors in both fixtures last season.

"We must be focused, and put in our maximum effort and attention," he was quoted as saying by Sportal.it.

"How will it end? Good question! I know it ends after 95 minutes. It will not be easy to win for the third consecutive time."

The team owner also discussed the potential impact of Antonio Cassano and reiterated his desire for success, although a draw would not be the end of the world.

"Cassano? [He is] a player who suits any team and is a sample of sportsmanship," he continued.

"Is a draw OK? I'd prefer a victory."

Sampdoria are currently fourth place in Serie A with 24 points, while Genoa sit in seventh place on 20 points.
