Juventus vs Genoa Live Stats & Betting Odds
Juventus Prediction – Can Juventus open up lead at top?
Juventus’s recent 5-match winning streak came to an end last time out in the Italian top flight when they were held to a 1-1 draw away at 16th placed Lecce which was a great result for the hosts but not so good for Juventus.
It would have been considered 2 points dropped for the current Serie A league leaders, but they have a great opportunity to set the record straight and return to winning ways when they play host to lowly Genoa at their Allianz Stadium on Wednesday night.
The hosts possess a 100% winning record on home turf with impressive stats of 4-0-0 10/5 which includes wins against Napoli 4-3, Hellas Verona 2-1, SPAL 2-0 and Bologna 2-1 while the likes of Ronaldo (4 goals), Higuain and Dybala (2 goals apiece) along with midfielder Pjanic (3 goals) have got amongst the goals already this season.
Juventus hold an incredible record at home in Serie A as they’re unbeaten in their last 25 matches, a run that consists of 21 wins and just 4 draws, such has been their dominance in recent times in the Italian top flight.
Genoa Prediction – Can Genoa avoid a heavy defeat?
A 3-1 home win against Brescia on the weekend ended a run of 3 straight defeats for Wednesday night’s visitors, Genoa, which has kept their heads above water for the rime being as they sit just one league position and 1 point above the relegation zone prior to this extremely tough upcoming fixture against Juventus.
The visitors could be forgiven for just wanting this fixture out of the way and hoping they can come away from the Allianz Stadium relatively unscathed, but recent defeats to Lazio 4-0, AC Milan 2-1 and a heavy 5-1 loss to Parma don’t bode well for Genoa here.
Throw in the fact that Genoa have lost 3 of their 4 away matches so far this season with a poor record of 0-1-3 5/15 which includes defeats at Cagliari, Lazio and Parma, all of whom sit outside the top 5 of Serie A, and trouble could be coming Genoa’s way again in this encounter.
To make matters worse, Genoa have now endured a 13-match stretch without an away win in the Italian top flight too.
Key-Facts – Juventus vs Genoa
- Juventus have won 21 of their last 25 matches at home in Serie A
- Juventus hold a 100% record at home so far this season
- Genoa haven’t won an away match in their last 13 matches on their travels
Betting Tips Verdict
All signs point towards a straightforward home win here and anything other than that would be a big shock.
