The Matchday 30 Serie A clash between Juventus and Genoa will take place on March 29 at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. Juventus vs. Genoa: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Juventus
In the last round, the Turin side couldn't counter Fiorentina on their turf (0-3). As a result, Juventus suffered two heavy defeats in a row in the championship for only the third time in their history, having previously lost at home to Atalanta (0-4). Moreover, the club failed to score for the sixth time this Serie A season. In the standings, Juventus has dropped one place and is now fifth with 52 points, trailing Bologna by one point.
- The team has not lost in 21 of their last 22 home Serie A matches (10 wins, 11 draws).
- The club scored exactly one or two goals in 10 of their last 12 home matches in the championship.
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in 4 of Juventus's last 5 home Serie A matches.
Predicted lineup for Juventus (4-5-1)
Michele Di Gregorio – Renatu Veiga, Lloyd Kelly, Pierre Kalulu, Timothy Weah – Manuel Locatelli, Khéphren Thuram, Nicolas Gonzalez, Weston McKennie, Teun Koopmeiners – Randal Kolo Muani.
Defenders Bremer and Juan Cabal, as well as forward Arkadiusz Milik, will miss the match due to injuries. Note that before this round, the club appointed a new head coach – Igor Tudor replaced Thiago Motta.
Genoa
Patrick Vieira's side defeated Lecce at home in the last round (2-1). As a result, Genoa won for the first time in four Serie A matches (2 draws, 1 loss). Moreover, the club managed to score more than one goal for only the seventh time this championship. Genoa is now solidly in 12th place in the standings, with a 13-point cushion from the relegation zone. Notably, the team has scored just 11 goals away this Serie A season – only Lecce has a lower tally (10).

Juventus vs. Genoa: Match Prediction
The Turin side plays confidently at home, aiming to dominate and spending a lot of time in attack. For Juventus, scoring is rarely a problem: in their last 12 home Serie A matches, the team failed to score only once. However, the club cannot boast very high scoring: in ten instances during this span, Juventus limited themselves to two goals.
Genoa doesn't always achieve their goals on the road but strives hard for a positive result and usually prefers to play defensively. Genoa rarely allows opponents to create many scoring chances. In their last 10 away matches in the championship, the club conceded more than two goals only once. However, in their last seven Serie A matches, Genoa managed only one clean sheet.
I think Genoa is unlikely to contain the Turin attack, but the visitors won't concede many. My prediction: Exact number of goals by Juventus: 1-2
