Serie A leaders Juventus will be searching for the 12th successive league triumph when they host Sampdoria, a team that have lost just one of their last six matches against the Italian giants.

It took he Bianconeri a while to hit the ground running this season, which was not that surprising considering the arrivals of Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente.

However, the team kept raising their form as the season unfolded and they have already opened up an eight-point cushion at the Serie A summit.

Antonio Conte’s side recorded 11 straight victories in the league, keeping nine clean sheets in the process, and they are available at 1.73 (8/11) for another win to nil.

And with their next opponents having caused them all sorts of problems in the past, the hosts should have an extra motive to do well on Saturday evening.

For the first time after quite a while, Antonio Conte has fully fit squad to select from, with Andrea Barzagli returning from suspension.

The Italy international should be recalled to the starting line-up at the expense of Martin Caceres, which is probably going to be the only change to the team that hammered Cagliari last time out.

Probable starting line-up (3-5-2): Buffon – Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini – Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba, Asamoah – Llorente, Tevez.

Sampdoria chiefs seem to have made a right decision to sack coach Delio Rossi, with the team getting a new lease on life under Sinisa Mihajlovic.

The Serbian coach helped the team seriously improve their league position by guiding them to two wins and as many draws in first four matches in charge, while also masterminding a 4-1 Coppa Italia triumph over Hellas Verona.

Doriani have since suffered a small dip in form, taking one point from league matches against Parma and Napoli before being eliminated from Coppa Italia at the hands of Roma.

Sampdoria, nonetheless, did brilliantly to return to the right track with a 3-0 triumph over Udinese, meaning they arrive in Turin brimming with confidence.

And with the team picking up four points from last two away matches against Juventus, you should know Doriani are 5.50 (9/2) not to lose in Turin.

Sinisa Mihajlovic faces severe selection problems as important midfielder Nenad Krsticic and Roberto Soriano are banned, but Pedro Obiang and Vasco Regini return.

Probable starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Da Costa – De Silvestri, Mustafi, Gastaldello, Costa – Palombo, Obiang – Gabbiadini, Bjarnason, Wszolek – Eder.
