H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Juventus Turin Team Overview
⚪ Juventus have shown significant improvement since Luciano Spalletti took over as head coach. They've become more consistent in picking up points and at one point even secured a spot in the top four of the standings. However, in recent weeks, the "Old Lady" hasn't had much to cheer about: they were knocked out of the Champions League by Galatasaray (5-7 on aggregate), and have managed just three wins in their last ten matches across all competitions. In their previous league outing, the "Old Lady" couldn't secure a victory at home against Sassuolo (1-1), despite looking the better side and outperforming their opponents in many statistical categories. Nevertheless, the result didn't favor the Turin side.
⚫ Despite this rough patch, the team remains in the upper echelons of the table, sitting in 5th place with 54 points, just three points shy of the Champions League spots. The season's objective is clear, but given their current form, achieving it is in serious doubt. Therefore, the "Old Lady" needs to step up their game immediately.

Genoa Team Overview
🔴 Genoa, much like Juventus, had a rocky start to the season, but a change in management has turned their fortunes around. Under De Rossi, the Griffins have shown significant improvement, consistently picking up points, swiftly moving out of the relegation zone, and securing a mid-table position. Ahead of the 31st round, the team sits in 13th place with 33 points, holding a 6-point cushion above the relegation zone-a decent buffer, but there's no room for complacency yet.
🔵 With the new coach at the helm, the Griffins appear highly competitive: they challenge even top clubs and rarely falter against teams of similar standing. However, there was a setback in the previous round-a home defeat to Udinese (0-2). The result wasn't entirely justified as Genoa controlled the game, especially in the first half, dominating in shots (10 to 2), but two defensive errors after the break determined the outcome of the match.

Latest news
Juventus Turin
📣 After the 1-1 draw with Sassuolo, Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti stated: "The guys created enough chances. We knew Sassuolo were capable of playing well, and we prepared for this kind of match. In the second half, the ball moved too slowly, and it was only towards the end that we picked up the pace. I'm confident that no one took this game lightly."
✅ The team has no injury concerns-everyone is fit and ready for the match.
Genoa
📣 After the 2-0 defeat to Udinese, Genoa's head coach Daniele De Rossi remarked, "We're proud of how we played and we can see we're moving in the right direction. However, there's also disappointment-winning today would have almost secured our spot in the league. We lacked a spark and a bit of luck."
🚫 The visitors don't face many squad issues: Maxwell Cornet is doubtful due to a muscle injury, while Brooke Norton-Cuffy is definitely out with a hamstring injury.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Juventus have historically started their home games against Genoa with intensity, often finding the net in the first half: the Turin side scored before halftime in 12 of their last 13 head-to-head encounters on home turf. Given that the hosts are not looking to drop points, they are likely to seize control from the opening minutes, making a bet on Juventus to score in the first half a potentially successful wager once again.
🚩 Corner Prediction
For those who enjoy betting on set pieces, we suggest considering the option of under 9.5 corners. Firstly, this bet has been successful in 8 of Juventus' last 9 Serie A matches. Secondly, in the first round meeting between these teams, only seven corners were recorded, so the chances of this bet coming through again appear quite high.
Editors' Prediction
According to bookmakers, Juventus are the clear favorites in this matchup, and there is some logic to that: they have the upper hand in head-to-heads, the advantage of playing at home, and a higher caliber of players on their side. However, it's not as straightforward as it seems at first glance. Under De Rossi, Genoa have become a particularly challenging opponent, consistently fighting for points in every match. Even top clubs struggle to secure victories against them: Napoli only edged out Genoa thanks to a penalty in the 90+5th minute, Lazio did so in the 90+10th, and there are plenty more examples like these. Meanwhile, Juventus are far from their best form, having won just three matches since the start of February. Therefore, we are betting on Genoa to win with a +1.5 handicap. Nonetheless, we still expect to see a scoreline of 2-1 in favor of the hosts on the scoreboard.
