Inter’s title hopes suffered a big setback last week so they’ll be looking to get back to winning ways when hosting Sampdoria on Saturday. The visitors are only point above the relegation places.

Inter Milan Preview – Can Inter put last week’s defeat behind them and close to within three points of Juve?
Sampdoria Preview – Are Samp capable of getting a resultto boost their hopes of survival?
Claudio Ranieri was brought in as boss of Sampdoria back in October to ensure the club’s safety and if the season was to end today then he would have achieved that. However, the experienced coach knows full well there is a lot of football to be played and Samp have a lot of work still to do. Last weekend’s 5-1 thumping at home to Fiorentina was the latest reminder of that. That result leaves them one point above their arch rivals Genoa in what is looking like a three-way fight with themselves and Lecce for that third and final relegation spot.
The second Genoa derby takes place at the beginning of May and is looking like a game which could have huge bearings on both Sampdoria and Genoa’s futures.

Last weekend’s defeat to Fiorentina was the second 5-1 loss of 2020 so far for Sampdoria. Add that to a 4-2 reverse at home to Napoli and it’s easy to see where their problems lie at the moment. Ranieri will be taking some comfort from the fact that the last time they played at the San Siro they were able to keep a clean sheet against the other half of Milan.
They will certainly take something similar on Sunday evening.
Inter Milan vs Sampdoria Betting Advice
- Defeat to Lazio last Sunday means Inter come into this game in third spot and six points behind Juventus
- Sampdoria are just a point above the bottom three after a 5-1 home defeat against Fiorentina
- It was a comfortable 3-1 victory for Inter when the teams met back in September
Sampdoria have won away to Inter only once in the last 24 years so it’s fair to say it’s not a fixture they relish. I fully expect Inter to get their title charge back on track here. Six of the last eight meetings between the two teams have went over 2.5 goals and that’s the selection for tomorrow’s game.
