AC Milan vs Sampdoria :today

AC Milan is expected to continue a positive trend when entertaining Sampdoria at San Siro in the 25th week of Serie A on Sunday (18/2/2018) local time or Monday (19/2/2018) early morning hrs.

In a record meeting, Milan is much better. In 49 matches, I Rossoneri won 28 times. while Sampdoria won 13 times and the rest ended in a draw.

However, Milan always lost in the last two meetings against Sampdoria. One of them occurred at home to Milan, precisely on 5 February 2017. At that time, Il Samp won with a thin score 0-1 thanks to Luis Muriel penalty goal.

clearly this note can not be a benchmark. Milan first, not Milan now. The 2007 Champions League winner is in high confidence under the care of Gennaro Gattuso.

Milan are unbeaten in the last nine games. in fact, seven matches of them end with a victory. Latest, Leonardo Bonucci et al 3-0 win over Ludogorets in the Europa League.

Gattuso assesses the players are getting more confident in the game. "What convinced me was the development of the team's confidence, even in the players who played less minutes, I want all players to be ready for combat and in good condition when I call," said the 40-year coach.

Will Milan again continue their winning trend? difficult to predict because the visitors are also in good form. Sampdoria have not lost their last five games.

In fact, Sampdoria able to silence a large team like Fiorentina (with a score of 3-1) and AS Roma (1-0).

in addition, coach Marco Giampaolo can lower his best squad in this fight. Only Vid Belec is confirmed to be absent due to red card sanctions.

While Milan should appear without Andrea Conti, Franck Kessie, and Nikola Kalinic. for the last name, Gattuso probably will not bother because Patrick Cutrone is getting shiny.

Cutrone also contributed one goal when AC Milan won 3-0 over Ludogorets. This 20-year-old player deserves the attention of the Sampdoria defenders.
