AC Milan (2nd) Home : 4-1-1 9:8

AC Milan seem to have finally found the winning formula, with 4 straight wins in Serie A, including the solid 2-0 victory at Catania last weekend.

"We have to maintain this rhythm. We have been achieving positive results and are close up there at the top," Leonardo told the pre-match press conference at Milanello.

AC Milan Team News :
None to hand.

Sampdoria (4th) Away : 2-1-4 5:14

Sampdoria come into this match in a bad frame of mind, with a 0-3 defeat against Genoa in the City derby, followed by a loss to Livorno in the Coppa Italia.

Remember that Sampdoria started the season with five wins in the first six games, and those two away wins came early on in the campaign.

Recently it's been all bad news when travelling, with heavy defeats at Juve, Cagliari and Genoa, and that trend looks like continuing here in the San Siro.

Sampdoria Team News :
Samp has three player who are suspended – Angelo Palombo, Fabrizio Cacciatore and Marco Rossi. Palombo will be sorely missed in midfield as Davide Franceschini tries to cover that hole.
