Betting Tip: Sampdoria v Juventus
Juventus will be looking to keep the pressure on league leaders Napoli as they travel to the Luigi Ferraris stadium to face the impressive Sampdoria. With only 1 league defeat this season, Massimiliano Allegri’s men look to be finding form at the right time with a busy festive period approaching. Sampdoria have had an impressive start to the season too and sit in 6th place.

Sampdoria
With 23 points from their 11 games so far, Sampdoria find themselves in the Europa League places in Serie A. With 4 wins in their last 5 games in the league and their only defeat being a spirited 3-2 defeat to Inter Milan at the San Siro. Fabio Quagliarella has rolled back the years this season – with the 34 year old scoring 7 league goals so far this term.
Juventus
The Old Lady have had an excellent start to the season and sit only 1 point behind early season pace setters Napoli. Juve have are the top scorers in Serie A with 35 goals from their 12 games played so far although conceding 11 goals in 12 games is very unlike an Allegri side. Ballon D’Or nominee Paulo Dybala has had a phenomenal start to the season – scoring 11 goals and providing 2 assists so far this term.
