AC Milan Team News

Milan in Serie A is far from the team from last season, which won the Scudetto after 11 years. Three rounds before the end of the Italian championship, Stefano Pioli’s team is in fifth place with 61 points, four points less than the position leading to the group stage of the Champions League.

The Rossoneri ended their Champions League campaign on Tuesday night after suffering a second straight defeat at arch-rivals Inter in the semi-finals, as the Narazzurri booked their ticket to Istanbul with a 3-0 aggregate score.

This was, at the same time, the most significant success of Milan in the current season because few expected them to make it this far in Europe.

When it comes to the domestic championship, after the 2:0 victory against Lazio at San Siro in the last round, Milan recorded an unexpected defeat away to Spezia with the same result, so they enter the next duel with Sampdoria emotionally drained, but without the right to a setback if they want to keep step with the team from Rome, which is currently in fourth place on the table.

Sampdoria Team News

The team from Genoa showed the weakest performance this season, with only 18 points won from 35 games played. Sampdoria is at the bottom of the table, so a few rounds before the end of the championship, they have no mathematical chances for survival in the elite competition.

After 11 years in Serie A, Sampa is moving to a lower league starting next season. Coach Dejan Stankovic’s team scored only 21 goals, conceding as many as 62, so they are also the worst team in Italy by that parameter, and they are leaving the very top of Italian football for a reason.

After three league defeats in a row, in the last round, they drew 1:1 in front of their fans with Empoli, although they had the lead to win until the 93rd minute when the visitors’ striker Roberto Piccoli equalized the score.

Considering everything, we believe Sampdoria will go to San Siro on Saturday without major ambitions, which can only make the job of the home team, which is in dire need of points, even more accessible.

AC Milan vs Sampdoria Prediction

Three rounds before the end of the championship, Milan is four points behind the fourth-placed Lazio, so if they want to be in the Champions League next year, Stefano Pioli’s team has no right to a setback in the remaining three games.

The guests have no major ambitions in this match, given that they were mathematically relegated to Serie B, and as the “Rossoneri” have been playing games with few goals at their stadium lately, this combination seems to us to be the best option for the duel between Milan and Sampdoria on Saturday.

Kick-off Time: Saturday, 20.05.2023 20:45 PM GMT +1 / 20:45 PM CET

Prediction: AC Milan win and total goals under 3.5
