Last season, these teams met twice, with Juventus winning both games - 1:0 on the road, and 2:0 at home. Looking further back, over the past ten h2h games, Genoa won once, while Juventus won six times.
When it comes to the number of goals, four out of the past ten h2h games ended with three or more goals. Meanwhile, both teams scored in four out of ten h2h games as well.
Genoa team overview
Genoa came into this season after a pretty poor last one when they finished 16th. This year, the Griffins once again had a slow start in Serie A and are only three points away from the danger zone. They had massive problems offensively, and with only six goals in eight rounds, they are the second-worst (offensive) team in Serie A! They had success in recent home games, winning three in a row across competitions, and definitely have a reason to be optimistic before the Juventus game.
After a 1:0 win over Venezia in the previous game, coach Daniele De Rossi spoke to the media. He said they played well in the first half but became too cautious after the break. The coach said they lost possession easily and allowed Venezia to press them back.
As for injuries, the team should have no new ones, but Kingsley Ehizibue, Elias Havel, Djibril Sow, and Lorenzo Venturino should remain sidelined.

Juventus team overview
Juventus had a bad end of the season, which eventually pushed them to 6th place, and missed the Champions League by only two points. This year, the Old Lady once again haven't impressed, at least after the first eight rounds, given the fact that they are in 7th place with 14 points. That is almost exactly the same point-per-game average as last season. Still, at least their performances in the Europa League were solid, as they won seven points in the opening three rounds.
Throughout the season, the Old Lady had problems with injuries, but that only multiplied in recent weeks as Nicolas Gonzalez, Zeki Celik, and Francisco Conceicao joined the five other players on the injury list (Ekhator, Grabara, Locatelli, Thuram, and Yildiz).

Prediction
With six goals scored, Genoa are on level with Cagliari for the second-worst offense in the league, only better than struggling Parma. Mostly due to their terrible offense, they went under 2.5 goals in five out of eight games.
Juventus are among the best teams for this bet, with six out of their eight Serie A games going under 2.5 goals. They haven't been great offensively throughout the season, but are compensating for that with very good defensive performances. We firmly believe those defensive performances will continue against Genoa.
Moreover, five of the past six h2h games ended with fewer than three goals. Considering all the above, an under 2.5 goals bet seems like the best possible bet for this Serie A tie.
4 Reasons why we should see fewer than three goals
- Genoa went under 2.5 goals in back-to-back games vs Venezia and AS Roma
- Genoa scored only six goals in eight Serie A games
- Juventus went under 2.5 goals in six out of eight Serie A games
- Five of the past six h2h games ended with fewer than three goals
