AC Milan vs Sampdoria Preview

The Rossoneri were on a run of 4 games unbeaten until a 5-0 capitulation in the hands of Atalanta brought that to an end. AC Milan will be looking to close in on at least a Europa League spot and a win here would be very vital to their ambitions.

The Stefano Pioli led side were once high flying Italian giants in their heydays. Now a pale shadow of the glorious days, Milan have really dropped the bar. Teams are no longer terrified to visit San Siro. In fact, the capital club has emerged victorious only once in their most recent 7 home encounters, games which have witnessed an average 0.88 goals per match from the home side.

Overall, with only two home wins this season after 8 attempts (W2 D3 L3), the Rossonerri could do better. The club’s management brought in former striker Ibrahimovic from the MSL after a 7-year absence perhaps to tap into the 38-year-old’s experience. Only time will tell of the impact of the larger than life player.

Visitors Sampdoria have had better campaigns. Currently, the Blucerchiati are only a point above the relegation zone and could really use some points here. Defeats in three of their last four games has not really helped the Blue-and-white adorning club.

A 2-1 loss against Juventus is their latest result and here, against softer opponents, the away side could believe in themselves to leave with a point at least. It will not be easy against a rejuvenated home side and also considering Sampdoria’s horrible away form (W2 L6) which has seen them ship a whole 16 goals while only scoring 8 on the road.

Team News

The home side are without any injury concerns save for Brazilian defender Duarte while the away side will be missing out on the services of Italian G. Caprari, who is out on a red card suspension.
