DWLDLD

Genoa will play in this match after a 1-1 Coppa Italia drawn result vs Sampdoria.

In that match, Genoa managed 35% possession and 11 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Genoa was Andrea Pinamonti (9'). For their opponents, Sampdoria got 14 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Fabio Borini (83') was the scorer for Sampdoria. Sampdoria ran out winners after a 5-6 penalty shootout.

It has been all too rare in recent times that Genoa have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Genoa have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 8 goals on the way. Despite that, time will tell whether that pattern shall be sustained in this upcoming game.

A look at their previous results shows us that Genoa:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Juventus in their previous 3 matches.
• are winless against Juventus in their previous 2 league games.
• have not won at home in their last 3 league matches.

Juventus boss Thiago Motta has to choose a team with limited availability. Timothy Weah (Ankle sprain), Vasilije Adžić (muscular problems) and Arkadiusz Milik (Knee injury) will miss out on this game.

There’s a good chance that Juve seem likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 system, starting the game with Mattia Perin, Danilo, Pierre Kalulu, Gleison Bremer, Jonas Rouhi, Nicolo Fagioli, Weston McKennie, Nicolas Gonzalez, Teun Koopmeiners, Kenan Yildiz and Dusan Vlahovic.

💡 Prediction

In our opinion, Genoa will have to play well to find the net against this Juventus team who we reckon will score at least once to gain the upper hand.

Therefore, we predict a very competitive game with a 0-1 winning score for Juventus at the conclusion of the game.

Should be an interesting one.
