Sampdoria vs Juventus
Sampdoria finally won this month’s inaugural victory at the end of last week. Damn, they had to meet Juventus in giornata 17 Serie A. The match was predicted to run tight because they were both trying to maintain momentum.
Il Samp left for Genoa headquarters last Sunday (12/15) and managed to steal the score 0-1 through Manolo Gabbiadini’s single goal (85 ‘). Various efforts will be used to maintain the moment after escaping from the red zone to rank 15, as well as ending the trend of defeat since meeting Cagliari (4-3, 2-1) on the league stage and the Coppa Italia, and Parma Calcio (0-1) in previous week.
Juventus themselves also try to maintain a positive chart after winning two consecutive wins, namely against Bayer Leverkusen (0-2) in the Champions League and Udinese (3-1) earlier last week. The results in the last match even helped them get back to the top of Serie A, shifting Inter Milan who drew 1-1 at Fiorentina headquarters.
Furthermore, the Old Lady will try to survive there by returning maximum results this week. They also have the homework to stop the bad tradition at home to Sampdoria after the last two visits have always fallen with a score of 3-2 and 2-0. So, this is the best opportunity to bury the habit, as well as a final preparation before meeting Lazio in the Coppa Italia.
Our Prediction: 2
Odds: 1.48
