Betting on Associazione Calcio Milan
Milan must quickly move on from its elimination in the Champions League semifinals at the hands of Inter, if it hopes to maintain its chances of playing in the Champions League next season.
While all the top teams are hoping for some point deductions for Juventus, the reality is that for now, the Rossoneri would be playing in the Europa League next year. In fact, this team currently stands in fifth place with 61 points, four points behind Lazio who occupies the final Champions League spot.
This situation arises after several unfavorable outcomes for Stefano Pioli’s team. It lost against Spezia last week and prior to that, it went seven weeks without losing, but with four draws. As a matter of fact, Atalanta, who is in seventh place with a spot in the Conference League, is only three points behind Milan. This means that it could still drop to that spot.
However, there’s also some good news. As the hosts, Milan hasn’t lost in seven consecutive matches.This team is also the fifth least conceded club, with only 18 goals against. Two out of its remaining three matches, excluding next week’s game away at Juventus, will be played at home against clubs that are in the bottom three places in the standings.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Mike Maignan; Pierre Kalulu, Simon Kjær, Fikayo Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Sandro Tonali, Rade Krunic; Ismael Bennacer, Brahim Diaz, Rafael Leao; Olivier Giroud.
Betting on Unione Calcio Sampdoria
Mathematically destined to drop to Serie B for the first time in 11 seasons,Sampdoria’s only hope now is to try to win in Serie A in the last three matches. Who knows, it might even leave a lasting impression by dealing a hard blow to one of Italy’s greats, Milan.
Under the guidance of Dejan Stankovic, this season saw Sampdoria win merely three games and its last win was nine matches ago against Verona. Consequently, this team stands at the bottom of the Serie A ranking with a meager 18 points. Not to mention, it has conceded the most goals in the league, a total of 62.
Moreover, it is also the least scoring team in the league with only 21 goals scored, failed to score in 20 out of the 35 games played, and is the worst away team; although two of its three wins this season came on the road.
Possible Lineup (3-4-1-2): Nicola Ravaglia; Bram Nuytnick, Koray Gunter, Bruno Amione: Tomas Rincon, Harry Winks, Alessandro Zanoli, Tomasso Augello; Filip Djuricic; Manolo Gabbiadini, Fabio Quagliarella.
JefeBet Prediction
This weekend, Milan needs to rely on its great defense to win. Against Sampdoria, a team that has only scored 11 goals in 17 away games, it should have no problem keeping a clean sheet.
That being said, it should also take advantage of the fact that it is facing the worst defense in Serie A to start scoring again. In its Champions League games against Inter, Milan failed to score even once in two matches, and in Serie A, it has only scored seven times in the last seven games.
Anything less than a Milan victory would be a historic disaster for it. The Rossoneri needs to come out strong with good soccer, a couple of goals, and a clean sheet.
Prediction: Only Milan scores (MIL 3- SAM 0)
