Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Luigi Ferraris will host Saturday’s football game between Genoa and Juventus. The Rossoblu aim to put an end to their three-match winless run, but they must be low on confidence following a 2-0 loss to newcomers Venezia. As Genoa have been struggling in front of goal of late, home win should not be considered. Ruslan Malinovskyi has joined David Ankeye and Brooke Norton-Cuffy in the starting XI, with Andrea Pinamonti likely to step up.
The Bianconeri, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Napoli. As Juve have been impressive at the back under new boss Thiago Motta, we are tempted to place our bets on under 2.5 goals. Anyhow, Juve are closer to picking up all three points from the match than Genoa, who suffered a dip in form. Chico Conceicao and Arkadiusz Milik should be the only absentees in the visiting team.
