Serie A
The two Italian sides have met eight times since 2021. The Old Lady enjoyed plenty of success during this period, winning four times and kept four clean sheets. Genoa only won once, while three games ended in a draw. The average number of goals per game during this period was 2.4.
Genoa team overview
Genoa avoided defeat in each of their last two Serie A campaigns, but failed to finish in the top half of the table in either season. The Grifoni finished the 2024-25 campaign in 12th place, largely due to the number of draws they accumulated (13).
Going into the new season, fans were hopeful that things would change but unfortunately this hasn’t been the case, as their first game of the campaign against Lecce last weekend ended in a goalless draw.
Sebastian Okafor missed that game due to a muscle injury, and Sunday’s game comes too soon for him. The hosts' injury list also includes Caleb Ekuban, who will be out until the second week of September due to a hamstring problem.

Juventus team overview
Juventus have secured Champions League football in each of the last two league campaigns, achieving third place in 2023–24 and fourth place last season.
The Old Lady will certainly be hoping to challenge for the title this season, and they got off to a good start. Igor Tudor’s team secured a comfortable 2–0 win at the Allianz Stadium, thanks to goals from Jonathan David and Dusan Vlahović.
Andrea Cambiaso was sent off with over 7 minutes remaining in that match and will miss Sunday’s game. Injury concerns for the visitors include Juan Cuadrado, Fabio Miretti and Arkadiusz Milik.

Prediction
Having won their last two meetings with Genoa, Juventus will be feeling confident about picking up another three points on Sunday, although they have struggled in recent away games. Igor Tudor’s team have won only one of their last six away games in Serie A, failing to score more than once in five of those matches. Considering that three of those games ended in a 1–1 draw, I expect a close game that could end in a draw again.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Six of the last seven league games of Juventus ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Seven of the last ten Serie A games of Genoa ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Bets on under 2.5 goals won in three of the last four meetings between Genoa and Juventus.
