Milan form and stats
The visitors, who have the the best goal difference (+13) in Serie A, are W4-D0-L0 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A.
Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Jens Petter Hauge, Samu Castillejo and Brahim Díaz scored in Milan's previous match, the home game against Celtic that ended 4-2. Before that, Milan secured a home win against Fiorentina with the score 2-0.
An amazing comeback from Milan last time out, trailing 0-2 before rallying an inspired fight which eventually led to Brahim Díaz scoring the winning goal in the 82nd minute. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Milan, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Milan manager S. Pioli as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Sparta Praha.
Milan have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 9 goals from 4 away matches. It's not easy to score on Milan as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Sampdoria three wins, one draw and Milan six victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), eight games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
