Juventus vs Sampdoria Match Preview

Juventus is ranked at 12th place with 5 points and comes after a win, two draws, and two losses over the last five matches. It has been quite a poor start of the new season for them as they already sit quite distant from the top-four spots and can't tolerate any more false steps now. Almost all of their key players are back and fully fit with the exception of Chiellini and Arthur.

In attack, we should see once again Kean alongside Morata with Dybala probably playing from the second half as he will be rested for the UCL game. Chiesa and Cuadrado should play on the wings providing the speed and dribbling needed to be more precise in their counterattacks. At home, Juventus is winless after two games and the motivation will be at its highest now in order to do well and bounce back.

Sampdoria, on the other hand, is ranked at 13th place having also 5 points and comes after a win, two draws, and two losses over five matches played. They come after a heavy defeat against Napoli where they lost 0-4 playing at home.

In terms of gameplay, they are not averaging a lot of ball possession per game but the problem is that they are suffering especially on the offensive side with only five goals scored so far. This makes them the third worst attack in the league and despite Juventus not being very solid in defense lately I see it hard for Sampdoria here to face them since they are also on the road.

In conclusion, I think Juventus can win this match and cover -1 goals Asian Handicap. They are the favorites here and history is on their side with five wins in the last five h2h games against Sampdoria while fully covering this AH on four occasions. Sampdoria was poor against Napoli and I do not see what could they change to improve their performance against an improving Juventus team.
