Full time: Sampdoria-Juventus 3-2

Sampdoria have taken only one point from their last eight Serie A games against Juventus, with the Old Lady winning each of the last five.
 
Juve have won their last four Serie A games at Sampdoria’s ground – previously the host had managed two wins and three draws at the Marassi against the Bianconeri.
 
Sampdoria have taken 23 points from their first 11 games of the season – that’s their best ever start to a Serie A campaign.
 
Only twice had Juve scored more than 35 goals in the opening 12 games of Serie A: in 1933/34 (40) and in 1950/51 (37).
 
Juve have currently 31 points – only once had they collected more after 12 match-days in Serie A (33 in 2005/06).
 
The Bianconeri are unbeaten in their last six away games (W5 D1).
 
The Old Lady have been leading for 668 minutes in this campaign – at least 114 minutes more than any other side.
 
Only Juventus and Chievo (five apiece) have scored more headed goals than Sampdoria (4) in this competition.
 
The next will be Fabio Quagliarella’s 100th Serie A appearance for Sampdoria. He also boasts 84 appearances and 23 goals for Juve in the top-flight between 2010 and 2014.

Gonzalo Higuain has found the net in each of his last three league appearances, and was involved in a goal in six of the last seven (scoring five and making two assists).
