Sampdoria Form & Balance Check
If we take a closer look at the teams in the Italian Serie, we can expect a very tight race this season, especially in the bottom of the table. Several teams have to prove their league fitness, including Sampdoria Genoa. The city of Genoa would naturally like to avoid the scenario that, after CFC Genoa, Sampdoria is also relegated. Coach Marco Giampoalo’s team lost a lot of quality in the summer and we expect a difficult season. Against Juve, it will probably be all about damage limitation in the first place.
Statistics speak against Genoa
Sampdoria Genoa are underdogs for a reason and everything will have to go right for them to get at least a point against the record champions. If we take a closer look at Genoa’s statistics this year, we can see that last weekend was their 14th defeat. In addition, there are five victories and one point-split. The lack of victories is mainly due to the lack of quality in the offensive. In 20 league games, 2022, Sampdoria has only scored 19 goals.
Sampdoria facts & analysis
– 18th place in Serie A
– Won only 5 of their last 20 games
– Last lost 0:2 against Bergamo
Juventus form & balance check
The Old Lady from Turin wants to know it this year. Even though Paulo Dybala, one of the defining figures of recent years, has left the club and Giorgio Chiellini no longer plays for his Juve, the club is still very well positioned. The management has made good transfers, including signing Angel Di Maria on a free transfer from Paris. The Argentine should make up for the departure of his compatriot Dybala. He has already made his debut with a goal and an assist in the 3:0 win over Sassuolo.
Juve on the attack
Juventus Turin is not just any club in Italy. The Turinese are record champions and of course their self-image was somewhat offended in the last two seasons when the title went to Inter and AC Milan respectively. With the transfers of Di Maria, Bremer, Kostic and last but not least Paul Pogba, the Turinese want to get back to the top. It will be important that the Old Lady does not falter, especially against the smaller teams in the league. In terms of quality, there is no club that can hold a candle to Torino.
Juventus facts & analysis
– 2nd place in the table
– Opener won 3:0 against Sassuolo
– Championship title is the goal of the season
Predicted line-up – last update on 20 August 2022
The hosts from Genoa will be looking to spring a surprise in their upcoming fixture, mainly by playing a compact defence and wresting at least a point from the Old Lady. Rincon will try to close down the centre as usual, Caputo should get the balls into the top from ex-Nürnberg player Sabiri. The next opponents from Turin will again rely on a classic 4-4-2, with Di Maria and Vlahovic again providing the goals.
