AC Milan will be looking to bounce back from a defeat at Juventus against a Sampdoria side which has not won in its last four outings.
Luca Antonelli expects a Sampdoria side reinvigorated by the arrival of new coach Vincenzo Montella to provide a stern test for AC Milan at San Siro on Saturday in a Serie A clash that will put Sinisa Mihajlovic in the spotlight.
Current Milan boss Mihajlovic will be going up against his previous employer on the weekend, though there will be little room for sentimentality.
An away defeat to Juventus last time out leaves Milan in seventh place in the table, already 10 points behind league-leader Inter and outside of the European qualification spots.
