It has been nothing less than a procession for Juventus this season in the top flight. They have played eight and won eight. That sequence includes games against two of the other sides in the top four, Lazio and Napoli. The Old Lady have returned at least two goals in each of their four home games in the league this season.
They will have Champions League action in midweek, so with that in mind, a comfortable Juventus 2-0 correct score option is at 5/1 odds* (betting odds taken on October 17th, 2018 at 7:35 pm). They took a comfortable 3-1 win over second-place Napoli in their last home game.
There is a trend with those 2-0 scorelines. Four of their eight wins this season have been by that. Cristiano Ronaldo has been among the goals for them, but probably not as heavily as fans would have expected.
But still, he is a ridiculously priced 2/1 first goalscorer favourite here* (betting odds taken on October 17th, 2018 at 7:35 pm). The other sensible option for the game from a betting perspective is probably Juventus to win to nil.
Genoa News and Form
Tough fixture for Genoa then, who lost their last league game before the international break, suffering a 3-1 home defeat against Parma. Genoa are W4 D0 L3 for the season with two of the three defeats happening out on the road. Their lone away win happened at Frosinone, the side currently second from bottom in the table. Genoa are actually the current top scorers in the bottom half of the table.
However, looking at the league overall, they have the third-worst defensive record in the entire thing. Still, we are going under 2.5 goals at 6/4 odds* (betting odds taken on October 17th, 2018 at 7:35 pm). In their three league defeats alone this season they have conceded twelve goals. There is an obvious indication of their status. They have won all games against sides currently in the bottom half this season. Meanwhile, they have lost all of their games against sides currently in the top half of the table.
Juventus v Genoa Head to Head
Juventus meet Genoa in league and cup last season and won all three games against them, two of them to nil. Juve are currently on a four-match winning streak against Genoa. At home they have won their last five in a row in Serie A against Genoa, not conceding a single goal in any of those games. Both teams have scored in just two of the last eleven meetings.
Juventus v Genoa Predictions
Juventus to win: You wouldn’t expect to read anything else here other than a Juventus win. That’s what we are going with and that is what should happen. There is a comfortable to win to nil option, but the 2-0 correct score appeals greatly.
