AC Milan Sampdoria match preview

The last Sunday’s match of the 25th round of Italian Serie A also attracts a fair deal of attention given that two neighbours will face each other, where 7th-placed Milan currently has three points fewer than 6th-placed Sampdoria. It is more important that both teams are in excellent shape and we expect to see a good game at the Guiseppe Meazza. We need to add that their match played in Genoa last autumn had ended as Sampdoria’s victory of 2-0.

AC Milan

Of course, that will be just an additional motive for Milan players to triumph over Sampdoria, especially as they are in the best form since the season started. It is fact that manager Gattus players won six and drew three matches before facing Sampdoria, which put them back in the race for positions that lead to the Europa League, in which they won away Bulgarian Lodogorets 3-0 three days ao.

It means they have practically put their foot in the door of the Europa League round of 16, although they will have to struggle to reach the final of the Coppa Italia, given that the 1st leg with Lazio had ended as goalless draw. The Rossoneri won in previous league match SPAL by even 4-0, and we also need to add that Gattuso cannot count for Sunday’s match on injured defender Conti and forward Kalinic, while midfielder Kessie is suspended due to accumulated yellow cards.

Probable lineups AC Milan: G. Donnarumma – Calabria, Bonucci, Romagnoli, Rodriguez – Locatelli, Biglia, Bonaventura – Suso, Cutrone, Calhanoglu

Sampdoria

The guests from Genoa are in good mood ahead of the Sunday’s match, given they again have five-game unbeaten streak in the league of three wins and two draws, and right now they occupy the last position that leads to European competitions. True, Milan and Atlanata breathe down their neck, which have three and four points fewer, respectively but on the other hand the fourth place that leads to the Champions League is not too far, given that Roma has just six points more at the moment.

We believe that very few Sampdoria fans hope that their team can qualify for the Champions League, especially as this team is prone to oscillations. It lost the last time to last placed Benevento away, however, Sampdoria quickly recovered and won at home Fiorentina and Verona, and Roma away, while it drew home matches with Roma and Torino. Let’s add that only midfielder Praet is injured right now.

Probable lineups Sampdoria: Viviano – Bereszynski, Silvestre, Ferrari, Murru – Barreto, Torreira, Linetty – Ramirez – Quagliarella, Zapata

Verdict:

Both teams are still in the race for Europe and will surely both try to win all three points against direct competitor on Sunday, which means there should be goals on both sides of the pitch.
