Genoa vs Juventus team news and expert analysis
The Genoa-based club changed its manager a year ago and ultimately finished that season in a safe 16th place with 41 points. However, they have once again made a poor start, securing their first win — excluding the cup, where everything went well — only after the international break: a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina. After losing to Roma, they then defeated Venezia 1-0.
Even after a managerial change in 2025/2026, the Turin giants finished in a disappointing sixth place. As a result, the Italians have been forced to play in the Europa League, where they have already collected seven points from their first three matches. At the same time, they once again made a sluggish start in Serie A, frequently dropping points and even suffering defeats. In their most recent league game against Lecce, they at least secured a comfortable 2-0 win.
De Rossi's side are averaging just 0.75 goals scored per game, while conceding 1.63. Juventus are averaging 1.38 goals scored and one goal conceded per match.
