The Bianconeri had a dramatic few days, as they fought back from a 3-0 first leg defeat to lead 3-0 at the Bernabeu and were 30 seconds away from forcing extra time when Real Madrid received a controversial penalty.
Gigi Buffon was sent off for dissent and has since been creating even more waves with his vicious criticism of referee Michael Oliver.
The captain is in goal today, but Mattia De Sciglio and Federico Bernardeschi are injured, so Benedikt Howedes gets only his second appearance in a Juventus jersey.
Cuadrado also returns to the starting XI after such a long time out injured, aiding Paulo Dybala and Mario Mandzukic, so Gonzalo Higuain and Douglas Costa are rested.
Sampdoria are still in the hunt for a Europa League spot, even after a poor run of results, and beat Juventus 3-2 earlier this season.
Bartosz Bereszynski is suspended in defence with Nicola Murru injured, while Gaston Ramirez takes the trequartista role behind Duvan Zapata and ex-Juve striker Fabio Quagliarella.
Juventus: Buffon; Howedes, Rugani, Chiellini, Asamoah; Khedira, Pjanic, Matuidi; Cuadrado, Dybala, Mandzukic
Sampdoria: Viviano; Sala, Silvestre, Ferrari, Regini; Barreto, Torreira, Praet; Ramirez; Quagliarella, Duvan Zapata
