Sampdoria manager Sinisa Mihajlovic has said that his side "must redeem" themselves against Atlanta on Sunday, and is backing Samuel Eto'o to help them do so.

Atalanta beat Mihajlovic's men 3-0 last year, and the manager is out for revenge.

"We will play with a 4-3-3 with Okaka, Eto'o and Muriel up front," said Mihajlovic in his pre-match press conference.

"Muriel and Eto'o now know what is expected of them. They're certainly better players than what they were a month ago, they're players who can make a difference and I'm waiting for them to display that tomorrow.

"We have some problems with suspensions but I prefer to employ a more attacking formation, in midfield all of our players are fit and I hope the front three can give a hand defensively. Atalanta are a compact and aggressive side, it won't be easy but we must redeem ourselves after a bad defeat there last season."

Sampdoria are sixth in Serie A.
