Prediction: 1-2
Juventus
Friday’s football game at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris pits together Genoa and Juventus, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the season finale. Genoa are fighting hard to avoid relegation, while Juve are eyeing a top-three finish. The Rossoblu aim to make amends for a heart-breaking loss in the Derby della Lanterna, but they will have a mountain to climb against Massimiliano Allegri’s troops.
All Vanheusden, Rovella, Piccoli, and Cambiaso are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. The Bianconeri, on the other hand, booked their place in the Champions League thanks to a 2-1 win over Venezia. Juve aim to overtake Napoli in third position, and they should take advantage of Genoa’s shaky defence. Both Cuadrado and De Sciglio are major doubts, while all Locatelli, Kaio Jorge, Chiesa, and Mckennie remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Mattia Destro):
Mattia Destro started his youth career at Ascoli, but in 2005 he moved to Inter. The Italian attacker, though, made his debut in the Serie A with Genoa in the 2010/2011 season. He scored 2 goals in 16 appearances for the Rossoblu and at the end of the season he signed a deal with Siena. Destro netted 12 goals for Siena in 30 league appearances for the club and on 30 July, 2012 he joined fellow Serie A team Roma for a fee of €8.5 million.
The Italian footballer made his debut for the capital club on 2 September, 2012 in a 3-1 victory over Inter. Destro scored 24 goals for Roma between 2012 and 2015 and after ending his loan spell with Milan he joined Bologna on 20 August, 2015.
Speaking of his international career, the Bologna forward has 15 caps for Italy U21 and he made his debut for the senior team on 15 August, 2012 against England at Wembley Stadium. He made Italy’s 2014 provisional FIFA World Cup squad, but he eventually failed to make the final roster.
Highlighted Team (Juventus):
Juventus are considered one of the greatest European football clubs. The Bianconeri (The White and Blacks) have won two Champions League trophies (1985, 1996) and they did well to clinch three UEFA Cup titles (1977, 1990, 1993). The Italian giants have won 32 Serie A trophies and it is well known that a number of star players were part of Juve in the past.
The likes of Alessandro Del Piero, Zinedine Zidane, Michel Platini, Lilian Thuram, Filippo Inzaghi, Pavel Nedved and David Trezeguet all played for Juventus, whilst legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has yet to retire. Juve were stripped two domestic trophies during the “Calciopoli” scandal, but despite being relegated to Serie B, the club quickly brought glory days back to Turin. The Bianconeri used to play their home games at Stadio delle Alpi, but nowadays they welcome their rivals at Juventus Stadium.
The capacity of the stadium is 41,475. La Vechhia Signora (The Old Lady) is yet another nickname of the club. Juve’s biggest rivals are Torino and the two local rivals take on each other in the Turin derby.
