Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero is convinced of Champions League qualification.
Ferrero is confident of a second-place finish this season.
"Too many teams are fighting for second place, it's like being at the supermarket," Ferrero joked.
"We're in there too, for sure, it's not over for us as so many have said, the wheels have not come off.
"Who will come second? Sampdoria. I'm sure Roma will recover, they'll inevitably bounce back after the slap we gave them.
"We're not the strongest, but we have a good squad, and we can be the surprise of the season. Our strengths are a solid club, a good Coach and a great team spirit.
"Next year we can't fight for the title, give me two more years."
