Inter Milan will host Sampdoria at the San Siro on Saturday (October 29) afternoon in Serie A.
The hosts endured a sluggish start to their campaign but have found good form of late and are now pushing for the Champions League spots. Inter picked up a dramatic 4-3 win over Fiorentina in their last outing. They looked set to come away with just a point after their opponents restored parity in the 90th minute before Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored a fortuitous winner at the death.
Inter are seventh in the standings with 21 points from 11 games. They will now look to continue their good run of form and move up the points table this weekend.
Sampdoria, meanwhile, have endured a poor start to their season, finding themselves in the drop zone. They, however, picked up their first league win under new manager Dejan Stankovic earlier this week with a 1-0 victory over newly promoted Cremonese. Omar Colley scoring the sole goal of the game 12 minutes from time.
The visitors are 18th in the standings with six points from 11 games and are just two points above rock-bottom.
