Claudio Ranieri wants to dispel the Stefano Pioli taboo, five direct matches in Serie A between them and never a success for the Sampdoria coach: three draws and two wins for the colleague who now leads Milan.
A challenge in the match scheduled for Sunday evening at the Luigi Ferraris stadium with the blucerchiati who interrupted the negative streak with an away draw against Turin (2-2) but want to win again after a month of November in which they collected just two points in four games.
Sampdoria will look for the company in front of the leaders and will do so by returning to 4-4-2. And on Sunday the couple formed by Quagliarella and Gabbiadini will return to attack from the first minute, back in the group for a couple of weeks after the inflammation in the abdomen that had forced him into the pits in this start of the championship. The last time together since the beginning was last August 1st in the Brescia match which ended 1-1. 127 days have passed, now they are ready to restart together from the kick-off in the match against Milan.
