UC Sampdoria welcomes AC Milan at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Saturday night. The hosts started the 2022-23 Serie A campaign in terrible shape, going winless in their first five matches. Meanwhile, the defending champions opened the season unbeaten, currently third-placed behind Atalanta and Napoli. There is not much Sampdoria can hope for in this clash, as the Blucerchiati find themselves in eighteenth place, only ahead of the recently-promoted Monza and Cremonese. AC Milan took the three points home in their last three visits to Genoa, the last one taking place last year when the Rossoneri won 1-0.

Marco Giampaolo's men arrive at this duel from a 2-1 away loss vs. Hellas Verona. They are without a triumph on this pitch since last month when they defeated the second-tier Reggina in the Coppa Italia round of 64, barely defeating this side as the duel ended 1-0 for the hosts. For this match, Sampdoria misses Manuel De Luca, Simone Trimboli, and Harry Winks, while the guests travel without Alessandro Florenzi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Rade Krunic, and Ante Rebic.

Milan's last league game saw them defeating their city rivals Inter, winning 3-2 after coming back from a 0-1 result. The guests arrive from a 1-1 draw against Red Bull Salzburg in the UEFA Champions League. Stefano Pioli's squad needs the three points here, as a victory puts them back on top of the league table. Offensively, the visitors are led by Rafael Leao, who started the season phenomenally, continuing to give amazing performances as he also did last season. He scored three goals and assisted two more in five club appearances so far, and will be the biggest threat to Sampdoria's defense tomorrow.

I anticipate the guests' triumph in the upcoming duel, considering everything stated above. Good luck!

Coached by one of the most legendary midfielders of all time, Valencia chases European football after missing out on the top seven for two seasons. Currently tenth on the ladder, Gennaro Gattuso's men hope for an away victory against Rayo Vallecano if they wish to enter the top four. They won two of the first four matches, defeating the recently-promoted Girona, followed by a 5-1 dominant triumph against Getafe. This side also gave decent performances in both of their losses, as they faced title challengers Atletico Madrid and the in-form Atletico Bilbao squad away from home. Meanwhile, Vallecano isn't playing well after a surprising 0-0 draw vs. Barcelona at the Camp Nou, defeating Espanyol 2-0, only to lose two consecutive matches to Mallorca and Osasuna.

The hosts are winless on their home ground since February, when they barely defeated Mallorca 1-0. This was also Rayo's only home triumph in 2022, which is an awful result for Andoni Iraola's squad. The last duel between these two teams at the Campo de Futbol de Vallecas took place in April, resulting in a 1-1 tie. Valencia's last win vs. Vallecano was four years ago, as the Bats comfortably won 3-0 at the Mestalla.

Injuries shouldn't be a problem for either side in the upcoming meeting. The hosts only miss Diego Lopez and Andres Martin, while the guests go on this visit without Jaume Domenech and Ilaix Moriba. Rayo Vallecano scored three goals in their first four league matches, while conceding four. They are yet to score at home, and have kept a clean sheet here only once since February. Valencia is doing great both offensively and defensively, scoring six and conceding three so far.

There is not much more to say about this meeting, as the hosts' horrible form on this pitch puts them as huge underdogs. I expect the guests to earn at least a point here. Good luck!

东道主在2022-23赛季的意甲开局非常糟糕，前五场都没有赢球。与此同时，卫冕冠军本赛季开局不败，目前排名第三，仅次于亚特兰大和那不勒斯。桑普多利亚在这场比赛中没有太多希望，因为布鲁切基亚蒂发现自己排在第18位，只排在最近提升的蒙扎和克雷莫纳斯之前。AC米兰在最近三次做客热那亚的比赛中拿到了三分，上一次是在去年，红黑军团1-0获胜。

马尔科·詹保罗的球队在客场2-1负于维罗纳之后来到了这场决斗。自从上个月他们在意大利杯64强赛中击败了排名第二的雷吉纳之后，他们就没有在这个球场上取得过胜利，最终东道主以1:0的比分勉强击败了这支球队。本场比赛，桑普多利亚错过了曼努埃尔-德卢卡、西蒙-特隆波利和哈里-温克斯，而客人们没有弗洛伦齐、伊布、克鲁尼奇和雷比克。

在上一场联赛中，米兰0-1逆转，3-2击败同城死敌国际米兰。客人们是在欧冠联赛1-1战平萨尔茨堡红牛之后来到这里的。斯特凡诺·皮奥利的球队需要在这里拿到三分，因为一场胜利会让他们回到积分榜榜首。在进攻端，客队的队长是拉斐尔·莱奥，他在赛季初表现出色，并延续了上赛季的出色表现。到目前为止，他在俱乐部的5次出场中打进3球，助攻2球，他将是桑普多利亚明天防线的最大威胁。

考虑到上面所说的一切，我期待客队会在即将到来的决斗中获胜。好运！

瓦伦西亚的教练是史上最具传奇色彩的中场球员之一，在连续两个赛季无缘欧洲足球前七名后，瓦伦西亚开始追逐欧洲足球。目前排名第十位，加图索的球队希望在客场战胜巴列卡诺，如果他们想进入前四。他们在前四场比赛中赢了两场，击败了刚刚升班马的赫罗纳，随后又以5-1的优势战胜了赫塔菲。这支球队在两场比赛中都有不错的表现，他们在客场面对冠军的挑战者马德里竞技和状态良好的毕尔巴鄂竞技。与此同时，巴列卡诺在诺坎普令人惊讶地0-0战平巴萨，2-0击败西班牙人，但却连续两场输给了马洛卡和奥萨苏纳。

自2月份以来，东道主在主场就没有赢过，当时他们以1比0险胜马洛卡。这也是拉约在2022年的唯一一次主场胜利，这对安多尼·伊罗拉的球队来说是一个糟糕的结果。这两支球队上次在巴列卡斯球场对决是在今年4月，双方1比1战平。瓦伦西亚上一次战胜巴列卡诺是在4年前，当时蝙蝠队在梅斯塔利亚球场以3比0轻松取胜。

在即将到来的比赛中，伤病应该不是双方的问题。东道主只怀念迭戈·洛佩斯和安德烈斯·马丁，而客人们没有多梅内克和伊莱克斯·莫里巴。巴列卡诺在前四场联赛中打进3球，丢了4球。他们还没有在主场进球，而且自2月份以来只有一次在主场零封对手。瓦伦西亚在进攻端和防守端都做得很好，到目前为止进了6分丢了3分。
