SAM vs JUV Betting Tips and Odds

Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:

Sampdoria are at 4.20 to win, a draw is at 3.75, and a Juventus win is at 1.80.

Sampdoria come into this match in ninth place in Serie A on 50 points.  They are a full nine behind Lazio and seven ahead of Sassuolo, meaning they can’t be caught or catch anyone else, making this effectively a dead rubber match for them (and both sides) in terms of results.  That being said, there is always pride and places in the team to fight for, and there will be no exception here.  Especially seeing as how they have not won any of their last five, falling out of any hope of qualifying for European football.

Juventus will be saying goodbye to manager Max Allegri in this match.  The Italian boss is departing, with a number of clubs said to be interested in him, after what essentially amounts to his failure to procure the Champions League title for them.  That’s just the way it is, even if he has helped them continue to dominate Serie A as they always do.  Since winning the title, they have failed to win, drawing three times and losing once, helping some sides remain in the race for European places.

I Blucerchiati have been pretty much hit or miss at home so far this season, winning nine of their 18 matches so far and drawing twice, along with seven draws.  So, they have just about been as good away from home as they have at home, showing why they have fallen off the pace of the top eight in the race for European football in recent weeks.

The Old Lady, meanwhile, come into this match with an excellent away record in Serie A.  They have lost three times, all three of their losses this season, but have won 13 of their 18 matches, showing just why they have ruled this division with an iron fist for the better part of a decade now.  They have fallen off their hot pace of late with just a single point in two outings, but that can be forgiven since they have little to play for and have a manager that is also leaving.

Ladbrokes have Quagliarella scoring at 11/10 anytime.

Betfair have both teams scoring at 1.44.

Sampdoria vs Juventus Prediction

A few players might just feel a bit of fire beneath them to perform for the Old Lady, and with their last few games not going so swell, they will very much be happy to have the chance to turn it around.  They do so with a win to conclude the season.  

Correct Score Prediction: Sampdoria 1- 2 Juventus

Sampdoria Team News

Marco Giampaolo will be without left back Nicola Murru and center back Joachim Anderson due to injuries.

Sampdoria Key Man

It’s incredible to think that Fabio Quagliarella is, and will finish barring a minor miracle, above Cristiano Ronaldo on the scoring charts in Serie A.  The veteran Italian striker has struck 26 times so far, five above Ronaldo and four ahead of three others, meaning he is very much closing in on the Golden Boot.  Gregoire Defrel has also enjoyed a fine season from attacking midfield, scoring ten times and assisting three times so far.  

Sampdoria Team Form

Sampdoria have two draws and three losses in their last five matches:

0-0 draw at Chievo
1-2 home loss vs Empoli
3-3 draw at Parma
1-2 home loss vs Lazio
3-0 loss at Bologna

Sampdoria Predicted Starting Line up

Expected Line up: 4-3-1-2

Juventus Team News

Max Allegri will be without right back Joao Cancelo, goalkeeper Mattia Perin, center midfielder Sami Khedira, and winger Douglas Costa due to injuries.  Winger Federico Bernadeschi and center midfielder Blaise Matuidi will miss out via suspensions.

Juventus Key Man

Cristiano Ronaldo is very much not the favorite to win the Golden Boot, but you had better believe that he will have aspirations on scoring goals here to reduce the gap.  And who knows?  If anyone can score five or six in one outing, would you put it past him to do so?  Emre Can is another interesting character to take a look at.  The former Liverpool man is looking to claim his place in the team full time, and this match could be an opportunity to lay a stake to it.

Juventus Team Form

Juventus have three draws, a loss, and a win in their last five matches:

1-1 home draw vs Atalanta
2-0 loss at Roma
1-1 home draw vs Torino
1-1 draw at Inter Milan
2-1 home win vs Fiorentina

Juventus Predicted Starting Line up

Expected Line up: 4-4-2

There is precious, precious little to play for between these two teams, and if their previous results are anything to go by, this is a tough one to call. With that being said, Juve have been playing more difficult sides in their rut recently, and they will very much be keen on turning that around to finish off their season and send their manager out as a winner, as is the usual in Turin.
Sampdoria are winless in their last five outings in Serie A, while Juventus have not won any of their last four.
