Our prediction for this Serie A match:
After dropping two points in a 2-2 draw with Atalanta, Juventus will be aiming to regain second place in the standings when they take on Genoa in yet another home fixture. The Bianconeri are after their tenth home win of the process and a victory over Genoa will see them move closer to the Champions League spot. As key attacker Dusan Vlahovic is back from suspension, we are tempted to place our bets on the “Old Lady”. All Carlos Alcaraz, Adrien Rabiot, Matia Perin, and Mattia De Sciglio are sidelined with injuries.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, produced an under-par performance in a 3-2 loss to Monza and given their difficulties on the road, we predict that Max Allegri’s men are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s matinee. To make things even worse for the away team, important defender Stefano Sabelli serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
