Sampdoria have gone winless in their last five matches and they will be making an attempt to end that when they host Serie A leaders, AC Milan in the league clash set for this Sunday. Sampdoria have so far managed 11 points and are placed 11th while Milan, on 23 points, are top of the table. One of the biggest shortcomings Sampdoria have had this season is a weak defence, which has seen the team keep just two clean sheets in the 11 matches played so far. In their last outing, Sampdoria came from down and took a 2-1 lead against Torino but it ended 2-2. This has been the case for the team in their last four Serie A matches at home, where they have won just one. They led in the last four Serie A home matches, but ended up winning just one of the four – against Lazio. Heading to this game Sampdoria have conceded two or more goals in the last four matches, and in six of their 11 this season. On the flip side, Sampdoria have scored in nine of their 11 matches this season though they have scored more than one goal in just one of their last six matches – the 2-2 draw with Torino. In Serie A, they have kept just one clean sheet in the last 14 matches and conceded two or more goals in nine of the 14. They have a rather consistent scoring run, netting in 12 of the last 15 league matches and will hope this continues as they seek a second win in seven meetings with Milan.

Milan have four wins in their last six meetings with Sampdoria and have also kept four clean sheets in the six meetings. They are one of the two remaining unbeaten sides in Serie A and head to this game on three wins and two draws in their last five matches. It has not been perfect for them defensively though; Milan have one clean sheet in their last seven matches, and two in 11 while they have conceded two or more goals in four of their last 10 matches. In attack, Milan remains one of the most consistent sides in the big leagues in Europe; they have scored in 14 of their last 15 matches, only failing in the 3-0 defeat to Lille in the Europa League. The team has scored two or more goals in 13 of their last 15 matches and as a result 12 of their 15 matches have produced over 2.5 goals. The Italian giants carry to this game a 21-match unbeaten run in Serie A, with seven wins in the nine league matches played this season. In the last 15 league matches they have played, 11 have produced over 2.5 goals and they have six straight away wins in the league, while they have won eight of their last 10 away. Milan have scored two or more goals in 10 straight away Serie A matches.
