AC Milan and Sampdoria will fight to keep their goals alive this season after a series of unsatisfying results. While the Rossoneri try to recover from a 1-0 loss against Juventus, the away team desperately needs to end their four game winless streak, before things turn ugly for them.
Aside from the complicated fixture Milan faces on Saturday, it will be a sentimental match for coach Sinisa Mihajlovic, who will meet against his former employers. Nevertheless, he will have to leave any feelings outside the pitch and make a run for another win, since Milan needs to get back into European tournament spots.
Coach Mihajlovic made 128 appearances as a Samp player scoring 15 times and played together with Montella from '96 to '98 #MilanSampdoria

Quotes
AC Milan coach Sinisa Mihajlovic: "We made a slow start to the season, but most of the matches against rivals, with the exception of the Napoli match, were away from home. With this in mind, I think in the second part of the season there is reason to believe that we can do better."
Sampdoria coach Vincenzo Montella: "I want to get our team into the game in the best condition and this is the first week where we have worked with everyone available. It is always said that it takes time, but I don't want to wait. We have to discard the excuses about time and just think about how to beat Milan."
