Genoa v Juventus

Genoa vs Juventus Preview

14th placed Genoa will play host to Juventus at their Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris on Friday night in Serie A with both teams needing all three points for differing reasons as they sit in either half of the Italian top flight table with Genoa slipping to a 1-0 defeat away from home at Monza last weekend while Juventus secured an important 1-0 home win against Napoli which became an eighth win in 10 games for the visitors.

Genoa have found league wins hard to come by in the Italian top flight so far this season as the hosts have managed to muster just four victories from their total of 15 matches played to date this term in Serie A, but three of these four wins have been achieved on home soil at their Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris where they have recorded valuable wins against Roma, Salernitana and Verona.

However, Alberto Gilardino's side have also been handed eight defeats within these 15 matches overall so far this season and this casts serious doubts over whether Genoa can grab all three points here on Friday night but the goals market looks promising as five of Genoa's last 10 games at home have resulted in both teams scoring and having lost just four of their previous 16 home games in Serie A, Genoa are capable of putting up a fight here.

Juventus extended their impressive sequence of results in Serie A to 10 matches unbeaten in the domestic top flight which includes picking up no fewer than eight wins in the process and the visitors will therefore be in confident mood as they prepare for this upcoming trip to the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris to take on Genoa on Friday night.

Within this excellent run of results, Juventus have claimed three wins on the road at the likes of AC Milan, Fiorentina and Monza and The Old Lady will be looking to add Genoa to this list when the two teams meet on Friday night although the previous encounter ended with a 2-1 home win for Genoa towards the end of last season.

Overall results show Juventus have slipped to just the one defeat out of their last 16 games in the Italian top flight so the visitors perhaps look the more likely to capture the three points in this upcoming clash on Friday night but Genoa have shown that they are no pushovers on home soil.

Genoa v Juventus Verdict

Previous meetings between Genoa and Juventus have been lively affairs which have usually gone the way of Juventus in terms of straight wins but goals for both sides have featured on a regular basis as six of the last seven encounters have resulted with both teams hitting the back of the net.
