Cristiano Ronaldo has wasted no time in finding his feet at Juve this season since his mega-money move from Real Madrid in the summer.

The Portuguese has eight goals and five assists to his name in the league that leaves Juve top of Serie A.

Juve host SPAL - four points above the drop zone - looking to maintain their six-point lead over Napoli, who host bottom club Chievo.

Fans will be tuning in across the world this evening to see if the former Real Madrid man can add to his tally and may notice something unusual on his face.

This weekend, Italy’s top flight stars will don a red stripe of face paint on their cheek as a means to showing their support to women who have suffered abuse.

Serie A are doing all they can “to expel the fear with which the victims live every day”.

The gesture is timed to coincide with the UN’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, which comes on Sunday.

The teams are also expected to take to the pitch accompanied by women wearing campaign t-shirts.

Serie A backed the campaign to show support for women affected by domestic violence back in April when players such as Paulo Dybale had red visible strikes on their cheeks.

Ronaldo is participating in the event for the first time since his switch from Madrid.

Juve will expect him to be firing on all cylinders after he was rested during the international break.

"All I can tell you is that when I got back I saw Cristiano training the way he does every day, as a professional and giving hs all," Juventus team-mate Mattia De Sciglio told Sky Sports Italia.

Ahead of next month's Ballon d'Or announcement, De Sciglio remained coy on his team-mate's chances of securing a sixth title.

"I can't tell you because I don't know anything about this," the Italian defender added of the Ballon d'Or.

"That's all I can say, and what will be, will be."
