Genoa vs Juventus Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

12 places separate both sides on the Italian first-tier league table.

Genoa will welcome Juventus in their sixth Serie A fixture. The Red and Blues’ winless run in the league has been extended to three games after a 2-0 defeat against Venezia away from home. It hasn’t been a great season so far.

They find themselves just above the relegation zone in the bottom half of the table. Moreover, they have been highly inconsistent with their performances so far.

Juventus on the contrary are yet to lose a game this season. The Old Lady started their campaign with two back-to-back wins, before playing out three goalless draws on the trot and a win in the Champions League in between. The Bianconeri have not conceded a single goal in the Serie A this season and are placed fourth in the league standings.

Players to watch 

Junior Messias (Genoa)

The Brazilian forward has performed consistently for Genoa this season. He has two goals to his name with a goal each in the Serie A and the Coppa Italia. Messias is a versatile player and can play across multiple positions as and when required. Genoa will be counting on him to provide the goods.

Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus)

The Serbian international has been the Old Lady’s main man up front for quite some time now. Vlahovic has shouldered the goalscoring duties really well and is expected to continue with the same momentum. With two goals in the league this season, the 24-year-old striker is his team’s top scorer. Moreover, his anchor play and finishing abilities will come in very handy for his side going forward.
