Two emotionally and physically wounded sides will clash at the San Siro on Matchday 6 of the Italian Serie A. Watch out for thrills during Milan vs Sampdoria on Saturday, September 28, 2013.

Milan vs Sampdoria completes the Italian Serie A fixtures for Saturday, September 28, 2013.Preview: Victory is a must for both the Rossoneri and their opponents

It is going to be another 90 minutes without Mario Balotelli for the hosts. The absence of the suspended Italian striker is not doing Milan any favours but it cannot be blamed much either. Without SuperMario, the Rossoneri still managed to net three goals in their last game. Their main problem turned out to be in defence. 

What Allegri and his men have learned from that dramatic 3-3 draw away to Bologna is what Milan fans are hoping to see this Saturday at home to Sampdoria. Both sides are not having a dream start to their Serie A campaign. 

 

Things are worse for the visitors who have yet to register their first win. With two draws and three losses, Sampdoria are 18th on the league table, six places and three points below UEFA Champions League participants Milan. 

Meanwhile, AS Roma, Internazionale, Napoli, Juventus and Fiorentina are enjoying a close contest at the top of the standings. The struggle continues for giants Milan and beating La Sampdoria may be easier said than done.

Saturday’s encounter could go either way but Allegri will be hoping to come out victorious to decrease calls of his sacking among supporters.
