On Sunday night, AC Milan host Sampdoria at the San Siro, as the Rossoneri look to catch the visitors in the table.
AC Milan are currently seventh-place in Serie A and could move level on points with the sixth-place visitors in the Italian top-flight. The Rossoneri are now unbeaten in six games in Serie A, having won four of their last five league games.
Last time out in Serie A, Gennaro Gattuso’s side recorded a 4-0 win at relegation-threatened SPAL. The victory means that Milan have now scored two or more goals in three of their last four games in the Italian top-flight.
Gattuso’s team have a decent recent home record in Serie A, winning three of their last four games. However, the Rossoneri have also failed to score in five of their last eight home games in the Italian top-flight.
Sampdoria currently occupy the last Europa League spot in Serie A. Marco Giampaolo’s side have overcome a blip a few months ago to go five games unbeaten in the Italian top-flight.
Last time out in Serie A, Samp recorded a 2-0 home win over Verona. It was the fourth Sampdoria game in a row to produce under 2.5 goals. The visitors have a poor recent away record in Serie A, having won just one of their last five Serie A games on their travels.
A very creditable 1-0 win at Roma in their last away game in Serie A ended a run of three defeats and one draw on their travels. Samp have struggled defensively on their travels in Serie A of late, conceding at least two goals in six of their last eight away games.
However, Giampaolo’s side have also scored at least two goals in three of their last four away games in Serie A.
These two teams are well matched and this could be a tight game. However, Forebet predicts that AC Milan will record a victory in a low scoring affair.
