Inter Milan vs Sampdoria prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22

Inter Milan host Sampdoria at the San Siro on the final matchday of the Serie A season with the Scudetto on the line.

The Nerazzurri are two points behind leaders AC Milan in second and could be dethroned as champions if their city rivals match or better their result.

Simone Inzaghi's team were well on course for back-to-back Scudetto glories but a 2-1 loss to Bologna last month shifted the initiative in Milan's favor.

Now, destiny isn't in their hands anymore, as a win on Sunday won't be enough and will require Stefano Pioli's side to slip-up against Sassuolo.

Sampdoria have nothing to play for here, with safety already secured - the Genoa outfit are in 15th place with 36 points and just 10 wins.
