AC Milan (6-5-2, 20 points) will look to bounce back from last week's temporary setback as it faces reeling club UC Sampdoria (4-5-4, 16 points) at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in San Siro on November 28, Saturday as the 2015-2016 Serie A season continues.
Milan was on a five-game unbeaten streak when the team dropped a 0-1 affair with defending champions Juventus at the Juventus Stadium last Saturday, as per BBC Sport.
La Vecchia Signora striker Paulo Dybala scored the lone goal of the match five minutes after the hour mark to deal Siniša Mihajlović's squad its first defeat in its last six matches.
With the loss, I Rossoneri dropped to seventh place in the current league table while Juve took their place at the sixth spot.
Meanwhile, Sampdoria lost its second game in a row against lowly team Udinese, 0-1, at the Stadio Friuli last Sunday, as reported by SkySports.
Bianconeri Friuliani midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu scored a goal at the 34th minute, which I Blucerchiati could not equalize until the final whistle.
Sampdoria defender Ervin Zukanovic was actually sent off right at the 90th minute for violent conduct that sealed the win for Udinese.
The predicted result is a 3-1 decision for AC Milan. Mihajlović's boys are set to return to their winning form against the struggling Sampdoria who had not won a game in five of their last six matches.
AC Milan starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Donnarumma; Abate, Alex, Romagnoli, Antonelli; Kucka, Montolivo, Bonaventura; Cerci, Bacca, Niang
Sampdoria starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Viviano; De Silvestri, Silvestre, Moisander, Cassani; Barreto, Fernando, Soriano; Carbonero, Muriel, Eder
