Juventus TurinHowever, with the home side having won four of their last five outings, it could well be a close encounter at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. Matches involving Juventus always attract a wide range of interest from punters at online bookmakers, with our top betting tip well worth checking out. For those still unsure of who to back, let’s take a closer look at the two teams, as well as their head-to-head record.
Sampdoria Team News & Form
Sampdoria come into the match off the back of an impressive 2-0 win away at struggling Genoa, with manager Marco Giampaolo now having led his side to seven wins from their 11 Serie A matches so far this season. Currently sitting in a European qualifying position, the home side have lost just twice all season, with the Stadio Luigi Ferraris having become something of a cauldron for Sampdoria. Veteran striker Fabio Quagliarella already has seven Serie A goals to his name, while the likes of Ricky Alvarez and Dennis Praet help to make Giampaolo’s side difficult to beat. Former Southampton and Middlesbrough attacker Gaston Ramirez could well line up for the home side too, having already opening his account after arriving at Sampdoria over the summer.
Juventus Team News & Form
Despite sitting behind leaders Napoli in the Serie A standings, Juventus are one of the in-form teams in Italy, winning their last four league outings, including their recent success over minnows Benevento. Strikers Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala have 18 Serie A goals between them so far this season, with the Argentine duo almost certain to start for Massimo Allegri’s side. Having won 10 of their 12 outings, Juventus will be hoping for another three points next weekend, however with many of their players having been on international duty beforehand, tiredness could potentially be an issue for the away side.
Head to Head
Juventus won both meetings between the two sides last season, including a 1-0 success away from home. In fact, you have to go all the way back to 2013 in order to find a league success for Sampdoria, with Juventus having won the last five meetings between the two clubs in all competitions.
