ℹ️ Team News: Juventus

Paulo Dybala (Thigh Problems), Mattia De Sciglio (Biceps femoris muscle injury), Federico Bernardeschi (Unknown Injury) and Matthijs de Ligt (Shoulder Injury) are not available for Juve gaffer Andrea Pirlo.

We are thinking that Juve should go for a 3-5-2 formation this time, beginning the first half with Wojciech Szczesny, Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, Danilo, Luca Pellegrini, Arthur, Aaron Ramsey, Adrien Rabiot, Juan Cuadrado, Dejan Kulusevski and Cristiano Ronaldo.

🗞️ Team News: Sampdoria

From a largely available group of players, there is only the lone fitness issue for the Sampdoria manager Claudio Ranieri to be concerned about. Felice D'Amico (Foot Injury) won’t be in action.

We are inclined to think that i Blucerchiati might utilise a 4-4-2 system, choosing Emil Audero, Tommaso Augello, Omar Colley, Maya Yoshida, Bartosz Bereszynski, Jakub Jankto, Valerio Verre, Morten Thorsby, Fabio Depaoli, Federico Bonazzoli and Fabio Quagliarella.

✨ Prediction

We envisage that Sampdoria are likely to find the back of the net against this Juventus team, but it may not quite be enough to avoid defeat.

Our selection here is for a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 win for Juventus by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Let’s just see how this one goes.
