Juventus hosts Sampdoria in the Coppa Italia 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 18th at Allianz Stadium (Turin)
Over the past four weeks, Juventus was able to earn ten points. The team fought for the Super Cup and played in Serie A. The Black-and-Whites left behind the teams that are located in a lower part of the standings. Moreover, they beat Cagliari and Udinese with clean sheets (2-0), and the away match against AS Roma ended in a 3-4 victory. Now Juventus is in the European competition zone, which is more familiar to it. But the path to the top six was long and painful. Massimiliano Allegri's men were unlucky in the final of the Italian Super Cup. They lost to the championship leader in extra time (1-2). The Old Lady starts the battle for the Italian Cup from the 1/8 finals.

Sampdoria earned only two points in the last five matches. The men of Roberto D'Aversa tied against Venezia and AS Roma. They scored one goal both against the newcomer of the season and the Wolves. The Blue-Whites did not manage to offer decent resistance to Cagliari, Napoli, and Torino. They failed to score a single goal against the Neapolitans, and the rest of the opponents beat them with a minimum gap. And they scored first in both confrontations. For several rounds in a row, the players of Sampdoria do not change the fifteenth place in the standings. In the 1/16 finals of the Cup, the Blue-Whites were stronger than Torino. Their match ended with a score of 2-1.
I think that the players of Sampdoria will stop their fight for the trophy at this stage. It is unlikely that the Old Lady will allow the Blue-Whites to go further. In the last five matches in Serie A, Juventus players gained four victories, and their future opponent didn’t win even once. The difference of 21 points and ten lines in the standings show a clear superiority of Massimiliano Allegri’s men. And they will probably not even concede a goal in the upcoming game.
Prediction for the match: Sampdoria to score under 0.5 goals
