Genoa vs Juventus Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 28 October 2026
📢 Can Juventus take advantage of Genoa's problems and pick up three much-needed points? The ninth round of Serie A sees the Genoese side host the Turin club at the Luigi Ferraris. The hosts have made a poor start to the new season and are dangerously close to the relegation zone. Juventus, though, are far from their best themselves: the Old Lady have been playing inconsistent football and simply cannot string together a run of wins. Despite the difference in class between the two sides, the visitors should not be expecting an easy ride.
🔁 Don't miss important pre-match news: we will be adding information on line-ups, injuries and other developments that could affect the balance of the match.
Juventus have dominated the head-to-head meetings
📊 Over the last several years, Genoa and Juventus have met 38 times, with the Turin club holding a commanding advantage. The Old Lady have won 26 of those matches, while the Griffins have come out on top just 5 times, with 7 draws. Last season Juventus beat Genoa twice, keeping a clean sheet on both occasions: first winning 1-0 away, then 2-0 at home.
Head-to-head statistics Genoa - Juventus
Genoa are gradually building momentum
Genoa have had an extremely difficult start to the new Serie A season. The team have been picking up points with great struggle and have found themselves fighting relegation almost from the opening rounds. Things have begun to improve gradually of late, though - the Grifoni have won two of their last three league matches, which has allowed them to edge a little further away from the drop zone. They now have seven points and sit provisionally in 16th place in the table.
One of Genoa's most important wins came last weekend, when they hosted Venice, who are bottom of Serie A. Given where the two sides sat in the table, the match was essentially a direct relegation six-pointer. The hosts had a decent first half, looked reasonably assured and opened the scoring on 25 minutes. After the break, however, the game changed completely: Genoa dropped too deep, surrendered the initiative and allowed Venice to lay siege to their goal. The Grifoni repeatedly conceded dangerous chances but managed to hold on to their slender lead and see the match out for a 1-0 win.

Juventus are far from consistent
Juventus can hardly call their start to the current season a success either. The Turin side have been dropping points too often and are not yet even in the top six in Serie A. After eight rounds they have 14 points, which clearly falls short of the club's ambitions. That said, it is too early to talk of a serious crisis: they are only four points off the top four, and the majority of the season still lies ahead.
In the previous round, Juventus claimed an important away win over Lecce, 2-0. They had a strong first half, took the initiative early and managed to score twice. It looked as though the team were comfortably in control and would see the match out without too many problems. After the break, however, the Old Lady's performance dropped off noticeably. Juventus sat far too deep and allowed Lecce to create several dangerous moments. The hosts had decent chances to reduce the deficit but were unable to take them. In the end, Juventus kept a clean sheet and took all three points, though the second half will surely have left the coaching staff with a number of questions.

⚽️ Goals Prediction
Juventus have a habit of hurting Genoa, particularly after the break: in 5 of their last 6 meetings at the Luigi Ferraris in Serie A, the Rossoblù have conceded at least one goal in the second half. Given the gap in quality between the two sides and Genoa's defensive difficulties, there is every reason to think this pattern will continue. Our bet: Juventus to score in the second half, priced at 1.59*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
For those interested in the corners market, one statistic stands out: in 6 of the last 7 head-to-head meetings at the Luigi Ferraris, Genoa and Juventus have combined for at least eight corners. On top of that, the Bianconeri have exceeded that total in 14 of their last 15 matches. We are backing Total Corners - Over 7.5, priced at 1.47*.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Genoa remain the most-booked side in Serie A, averaging 2.6 yellow cards per match. Against Juventus, that number could rise: keeping Juventus's attacking players in check without giving away fouls will be a real challenge. Our pick: Genoa to receive more yellow cards than Juventus.
🚀 Individual Performance Bet
Douglas Luiz is starting to rediscover the form that made his name at Aston Villa. In the last match against Lecce, the Brazilian midfielder stood out with a goal and an assist. With Juventus missing a number of players, he has a good opportunity to take on more offensive responsibility. Our bet: Douglas Luiz to score or assist.
😱 Bold Bet
Juventus's inconsistency gives Genoa a genuine chance of taking something from this game. The Grifoni are also unbeaten in their last four home matches across all competitions. Those looking for a longer-odds option can consider the draw at 3.91*.
🎯 Safe Bet
Juventus tend to be effective in front of goal against Genoa: in 12 of their last 13 head-to-head meetings, the Rossoblù have conceded. The Old Lady have also scored in 12 of their last 13 away matches. With those statistics and their superiority on paper, we are going with Juventus to Score: Yes, priced at 1.17*.
👀 If the Script Changes
Even though Juventus have frequently found the net after the break against Genoa, a different scenario cannot be ruled out. Their last match against Lecce is worth recalling: the Turinese struck twice before half-time and then managed their lead. If the Old Lady take an early advantage, they could ease off offensively after the interval. Our alternative: Juventus not to score in the second half, priced at 2.37*.
*Odds are indicative and may vary between bookmakers.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
The bookmakers have Juventus as favourites for this one, and it's easy to see why. The Turin side have a stronger squad and have historically dominated their head-to-head meetings with Genoa. Right now, though, the Old Lady is far from her best, dropping points regularly and dealing with serious injury problems. So nobody can promise an easy trip to Genoa. Genoa, meanwhile, are gradually picking up momentum and will surely look to take advantage of their opponents' difficulties. Our main bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 1-1.
