Preview: Juventus vs Genoa Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Serie A 2025-26
Can Genoa beat Juventus for the first time since 2019?
Matchweek 31 of the Serie A takes us to the foot of the Alps, where the home team, Juventus, gear up to host Genoa at the iconic Allianz Stadium in Torino.
The Old Lady are unbeaten in their last five games and have won games against teams like Udinese and Pisa. For Juventus, Kenan Yildiz and Manuel Locatelli have been phenomenal so far, with the former netting 10 goals and 6 goals so far.
The Old Lady saw a series of managerial changes. After Igor Tudor was sacked, Brambilla took over the reins before Luciano Spalletti was announced as the new head coach. Under the former Italy head coach, Juventus have around 52% winning rate.
Ever since Genoa’s promotion to the Italian top division, they have been stable in the mid-table zone. They are coming after wins over Hellas Verona and Roma, and are coming after a defeat to Udinese in the last fixture. They are 6 points above the relegation zone and will be keen to end the season strongly.
For Genoa, Leo Ostigard and Morten Frendrup have been in exceptional form. After two seasons with Patrick Viera, Genoa saw a new dawn under Daniele De Rossi, who has clocked around 35% winning accuracy so far during his time as Genoa head coach.
