The Rossoneri come into this weekend’s game off the back of a hugely entertaining Della Madonnina victory. That means most Sampdoria vs. Milan predictions will surely favour the away team at the Marassi.
Sampdoria vs. Milan odds
1 – Over 2.5 total goals scored – 8/11
2 – Milan to score over 2.5 goals – 7/4
3 – Both teams to score – 10/11
4 – Milan to win – 1/2
5 – Rafael Leão to score anytime – 7/4
Sampdoria remain one of six Serie A sides yet to win a single game this season. With just two points picked up, coach Marco Giampaolo will know that he needs to turn things around soon. A meeting with the champions is probably the last thing he needs now.
Most of the fixtures have been tough so far. But the creditable draw with Lazio was not capitalised on at the weekend. Hellas Verona were able to hang onto a first half lead in front of their own fans at the Bentegodi.
Now the Blucerchiati have to figure out how to stop a Milan side that has scored ten goals in five matches and have also just beaten their great rivals. With just two goals scored all season, Samp could be in for a torrid time on Sunday.
It is all smiles in the red and black half of Milan though. Inter came into Saturday’s game at the San Siro wanting to prove that the scudetto belongs to them. But after an enthralling game of football, it was Milan that were victorious.
That statement of intent was hammered home by Rafael Leão’s performance. After receiving a lot of abuse in the opening weeks of the season after seemingly angling for a move to Chelsea, the Portugal international scored two and looked every inch the San Siro star.
Milan haven’t lost to Sampdoria at the Marassi since 2018 and it would take a brave person to suggest that that record would change this weekend. The Rossoneri seem keen to win back-to-back league titles – and three more points would certainly help with that.

Sampdoria team news
Marco Giampaolo could probably do with changing his entire defensive line. But there isn’t really the personnel to replace the ineffectual back four. Manolo Gabbiadini may be given another go up front in place of club captain Fabio Quagliarella though.
Milan team news
There is no real need for Stefano Pioli to change around his young and exciting starting eleven. With some possible options still injured, he will look to the likes of Leão and De Ketelaere to provide the attacking options – as well as Giroud up front.
