SAM vs MIL Dream11 Prediction: League leaders AC Milan travel to Genoa on Sunday to face a Sampdoria side which faltered badly last month following a particularly productive October. Stefano Pioli’s team have barely relented in Serie A – despite their coach being quarantined – to give them a five-point advantage over a tightly-bunched chasing pack, while Samp have now slumped into the bottom half of the table. After winning all three games played in October, Sampdoria collected just two points in four league matches during the course of November. Claudio Ranieri’s men have settled into a mid-table slot following two draws and two defeats either side of the international break. Let’s take a look at SAM vs MIL Dream11 Team prediction now.

Sampdoria Team News
The hosts are yet to keep a clean sheet in any of their last seven matches in all competitions. The hosts are also winless in the last five matches, with their most recent triumph coming against Salernitana in the third round of Coppa Italia. Such a disappointing run of form sees Sampdoria sit 11th in the table, but Claudio Ranieri will be aware that causing an upset against league leaders Milan could give his side the much-needed boost in confidence.
Injury update, unavailability
Sampdoria will be unable to avail the service of Keita Balde against AC Milan this weekend. The home side has several talented players and will need to be at its best on Sunday.

AC Milan Team News
One of the main features in Stefano Pioli’s remarkable Milan side is their ability to score goals. The Rossoneri have netted 21 goals in just nine matches while they can also break the record of scoring in 29th successive league matches if they find the back of the net against Sampdoria this weekend. In case of a goal, AC Milan will set their record of scoring in consecutive Serie A games (30). In fact, the Rossoneri equalled the previous such streak established between 1972 and 1972 (29) in the last matchday against Fiorentina.
Injury update, unavailability
Rafael Leao is currently injured and has been ruled out against Sampdoria. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Samu Castillejo have recovered from their injuries and might play a part for Stefano Pioli’s side this weekend.

Who will win SAM vs MIL Today Match Prediction Football
AC Milan are unlikely to be fazed by the absence of Ibrahimovic and Leao this weekend, especially against a Sampdoria team who have lacked sharpness and solidity in recent weeks. The Rossoneri also have an excellent record away from home, though the absence of Simon Kjaer could serve as a major blow in the defensive department. Nonetheless, the visitors shouldn’t find any difficulty in dominating the game this weekend and we expect them to seal a victory. So, we predict a 2-0 win for Milan in SAM vs MIL today match prediction.
