At reasonable odds of 1.60 with 888Sport, Juventus getting the better of Sampdoria on Monday evening looks a solid bet.
The Bianconeri got their campaign off to a flyer last weekend in putting three past Sassuolo in Turin, with summer arrivals Bremer and Angel Di Maria both playing starring roles.
Samp, on the other hand, were condemned to defeat at the hands of Atalanta, albeit, across lengthy stretches, having given a solid account of themselves.
Tip of the game
When it comes to potential goalscorers in Genoa on Monday, Dusan Vlahovic is the clear favourite to find the net first.
Juventus’ big-money striker kicked his 2022/23 season into gear in style last weekend, in notching a brace at the expense of Sassuolo.
Bet365′s improved odds of +333 could therefore well be worth taking advantage of, as Vlahovic goes in search of a first-ever Capocannoniere crown.
Match preview
As alluded to above, the two sides will head into proceedings having endured contrasting starts to the new campaign.
Hosts Sampdoria, amongst the favourites for the drop this season, were put to the sword by Atalanta, courtesy of strikes on the part of Rafael Toloi and summer signing Ademola Lookman.
The Blucherciati, though, should not be counted out completely in the final fixture of the Italian top-flight weekend, boasting home advantage, and having remained very much in the running for a point until deep into injury time on opening day.
Juve, nevertheless, will head to the Marassi fully confident in their chances of bagging all three points. This comes with Massimiliano Allegri’s troops having silenced their widespread critics last time out, in impressing to the tune of a 3-0 triumph.
One player to have contributed both a goal and assist en route to this result, though, will play no part against Samp, in the form Angel Di Maria.
After picking up a thigh injury, the Argentine is set for a spell on the sidelines, joining the likes of Paul Pogba, Federico Chiesa, Wojciech Szczesny and Leonardo Bonucci on the Old Lady’s absentee list.
Sampdoria, though, are not without personnel issues either, with all of Manolo Gabbiadini, Andrea Conti, Simone Trimboli and Manuel De Luca unavailable for selection to Marco Giampaolo at present.
