Sampdoria vs Milan Prediction: A very tough fight awaits the Rossoneri

Milan opened the Champions League group stage with a 1:1 draw away to Salzburg and will now face Sampdoria in Genoa in the Italian league. Can the Rossoneri win?

In the opening five rounds of the domestic championship, Sampdoria confirms their status as a team that will fight for nothing but survival in Serie A this season. They have been winless so far. The team has twice bounced back in home games against Juventus (0:0) and Lazio (1:1) and has allowed three defeats (0:2 to Atalanta, 0:4 to Salernitana, and 1:2 to Verona).

The team started their Champions League campaign on Tuesday with an away game against Salzburg. Milan conceded first in the first half but quickly got back into the game, with Alexis Saelemaekers scoring for the Rossoneri (1:1).

The Rossoneri are doing well in the Italian championship, with three wins and two draws. However, whether Milan's side can effectively fight on two fronts remain.

Milan is the clear favorite for the game, but it is far from certain that they will live up to that status. They had a challenging Champions League game against Salzburg in the middle of the week. Last time, the team failed to beat Sassuolo away (0:0). It is likely to be difficult for Milan in Genoa. Considering Marco Giampaolo's problems in attack, Sampdoria is unlikely to score more goals, but can Milan themselves score more than their opponents?
