Before October had rolled around Dybala had already plundered 12 goals in all comeptitions, with ten of those coming in Serie A. It was a record start from the star, who had just enjoyed a fine season which saw him win the Scudetto and Coppa Italia double with Juventus, as well as reaching the Champions League final.
However, the last month and a half have not been quite as kind to the 23-year-old, who has only managed two goals and two assists during that time. The most recent of those goals was a mere consolation a Sampdoria beat Juve 3-2 on Sunday.
Dybala's loss of form has been matched that of Juve, who are quite simply not the same side they were during the previous campaign as they watch Maurizio Sarri's Napoli slowly building their lead at the summit of Serie A. If Dybala's performance levels drop, Juve's performance levels drop.
In the Champions League, things aren't going terribly for the 'Old Lady', who are currently sat in second place in Group D behind Barcelona. Despite that, they hold just a three-point lead over Sporting Lisbon in third and with Barcelona set to visit Turin on Wedesday, things could get complicated quickly for the 'Bianconeri'.
In the previous meeting in the group between Juve and Barca Lionel Messi stole the show, scoring twice, whilst the 'new Messi' failed to make any sort of lasting impression.
Dybala's season has been full of ups and downs thus far, something that isn't ideal for the forward given that next year is a World Cup year. Argentina boss Jorge Sampaoli is unwilling to field Messi and Dybala alongside each other until they improve their on-pitch chemistry, meaning that if Dybala wants to force his way into the 'Albiceleste' side, he'll have to perform better than ever in the coming months.
Even Juve boss Max Allegri criticised the player following the defeat the Sampdoria, saying that 'There is a lot for him to improve...'
Can he start that improvement on Wedensday with the world watching?
