Sampdoria vs AC Milan Match Preview
This week's most important match will face two teams fighting at the top. The Diavolos have almost secured its ticket for next year's Champions League while the Samp have been struggling to take the last spot off Palermo hands without much success. Having bagged seven points out of the last nine in play Giuseppe Marotta Sampdoria is candidate to take the three points "We are in the best situation to face Milan. We do have very clear ideas" This match will be particularly important for team's goalkeeper Marco Storari, on loan from Milan to the Samp, and whose future is yet unknown, as he's been responsible for keeping its team's goal shut many times (an average of one goal per game) raising Milan's directives interest.
AC Milan has lost its solidity, as one lonely victory in the last four weeks have not been enough for Leonardo's boys to keep up with this challenging league's end. Four points away from the current leader and with a tight schedule (with Juventus, Fiorentina and Palermo waiting ahead) the players need a loose victory to empower their confidence before the top gets further away, as Mathieu Flamini declared “We won’t give up until the end because the mood is good and the group is fantastic.” even though he might not be able to perform due to an intense right shoulder pain he's been experiencing during the week One of Rossonero's hidden aces for this final stage of the tournament will be Alenxadre Pato's return, who might be able by the end of the month to the squad. Without its top striker AC Milan seems lost, will they be able to find themselves on this trip to the Luigi Ferrari?
