Inter Milan
This squad is currently at the second place of the league table with 43 points. Although the top team in the league is far ahead of them, this squad aims for a win to held on their spot tighter. Over the past few weeks, this squad have shown improvement, which is why it is not impossible to secure the second spot. They won over AC Milan on their previous match in a 1-0 win, an important win for them. As they aim to widen their gap to the third spot, this squad is aiming for the same result. As the new year starts, Inter improved a lot, as they try to secure their spot in the top four. This is not impossible though as they have an impressive squad that helps them to achieve their goals this season.
For this match, Inter will have an almost complete squad, except for Joaquin Correa, who is a doubt due to his thigh problem.
U.C. Sampdoria
Currently, Sampdoria is at the 19th of the league table, and are already in the drop zone. This is not surprising though as they failed to meet the expectations of them this season. This is why they are now on the verge of being eliminated this season. Luckily, they had a 2-2 draw against Monza on their last game. With that, they are now hopeful for the same result in this game. Frustrating, devastating, these are the words that best describe the current run of Sampdoria. As they go against the Inter, they are in-need of miracles to pull an upset in this game.
Mehdi Leris will not be available in this game, following his suspension. Ignacio Pussetto and Abdelhamid Sabiri are both sidelined once again due to their ijuries. Luckily, Manolo Gabbiadini is available in this game, as he is in-form already.
