AC Milan
Of course, today’s hosts from Milan will be highly motivated to play this game so that they, too, will have a home win over Sampdoria, especially as they are currently at their best. Coach Gattuso’s protégés have recorded six wins and three draws before the duel so that they are back in the race for the Europa League. Three days ago, they celebrated a 3-0 away win against Bulgarian representative Ludogorets in the competition.
This means that they have practically secured their place in the first knockout round of the European League, while they have to strive for the move to the Coppa Italia final much more, as their first semi-final match against Lazio ended scoreless. The “Rossoneri” celebrated in the last league match a 4-0 away win over SPAL. As for this Sunday’s game against Sampdoria, coach Gattuso will have to give up defender Conti and striker Kalinic for injury as well as midfielder Kessie for the card.
Sampdoria
The guests from Genoa are in a very good mood before this Sunday’s duel, as they are in the championship in a positive series of three wins and two draws, which is why they currently occupy the last place in the table leading to the European league. However, their first pursuers, AC Milan and Atalanta, have only three and four points fewer, respectively, but fourth place in the Champions League is not far off as AS Roma are only six points ahead of them.
However, we believe that hardly anyone in the camp of Sampdoria hopes for CL participation, especially as this team tends to oscillate and so they conceded their last defeat in the away game at bottom Benevento. However, they recovered quickly from this defeat and celebrated in home matches against Florence and Verona and in the away game against Roma AS. They also drew at home against AS Roma and against FC Turin. Currently missing only the injured midfielder Praet.
AC Milan – Sampdoria TIP
Both teams are in the running for the international ranking, so they will try to score full points in this Sunday’s game against their direct rival and that means we can expect goals on both sides.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES / @ 1.73
