Massimiliano Allegri’s Juventus will be looking to continue their strong start to the Serie A season with a win against Marco Giampaolo’s Sampdoria this evening.
The match between the Bianconeri and the Blucerchiati kicks off at 19.45 UK time at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Genova.
Juventus started their campaign well as they overpowered Sassuolo 3-0 at home last weekend, with goals coming from Angel Di Maria and Dusan Vlahovic.
Sampdoria suffered a frustrating 2-0 defeat to Atalanta at home in their opener, so they’ll be dreaming of an upset to redeem themselves tonight.
Giampaolo cannot count on Andrea Conti, Manuel De Luca or Simone Trimboli for this match as all three have been ruled out through injury.
Things are even more difficult for Allegri, who is without Wojciech Szczesny, Paul Pogba, Federico Chiesa, Angel Di Maria and Kaio Jorge. Leonardo Bonucci is also in doubt due to a muscle issue.
Probable line-ups for Sampdoria vs Juventus:
Sampdoria (4-1-4-1): Audero; Bereszynski, Ferrari, Colley, Augello; Vieira; Sabiri, Villar, Rincon, Djuricic; Caputo.
Juventus (4-3-3): Perin; Danilo, Gatti, Bremer, Alex Sandro; Zakaria, Locatelli, Rabiot; Cuadrado, Vlahovic, Kostic.
