With their 6 point advantage in the league table, Milan fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Sampdoria.
Milan and Sampdoria should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Milan form and stats
2 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Milan have to build on here at Giuseppe Meazza in the Serie A. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 224 minutes without scoring a league goal. G. Bonaventura was the last player to find the net.
The fans are hoping that Milan will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-5 away loss in the Serie A game against Atalanta (placed 5th). Before that, Milan drew at home versus Sassuolo.
Milan were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Milan here at Giuseppe Meazza in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (7 from 8 games). Milan have conceded 10 in these home matches.
Sampdoria form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sampdoria so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-6 (win-draw-lose).
Sampdoria failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Juventus (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 1-2. Preceding that game was the away victory against Genoa with the score of 1-0.
Sampdoria find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 8 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. The Sampdoria manager C. Ranieri has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.
