THE LOWDOWN
JUVENTUS
In his second stint charge of the Old Lady, Massimiliano Allegri did have Juventus firmly in the Serie A title race in mid-January but performances remained underwhelming. Then they suffered a 1-0 loss to Internazionale at San Siro in the Derby d’Italia and that has begun something of a collapse from the Bianconeri.
They come into this one on the back of sharing a 2-2 draw with Atalanta at the J Stadium in Turin last weekend with Teun Koopmeiners scoring a brace for the Bergamasci after goals from Andrea Cambiaso and Arkadiusz Milik had given Juve a 2-1 lead. They have now managed just one win in their last seven matches in Serie A.
GENOA
After gaining promotion back to the top-flight last season, Genoa have embarked upon an impressive campaign whereby they begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting firmly in the middle-of-the-table under the management of 2006 FIFA World Cup winning striker Alberto Gilardino, who took charge of the club mid-way through last season.
Genoa come into this one on the back of a 3-2 defeat at home to Monza in their most recent outing, last weekend, which saw Daniel Maldini, the son of Paolo, score a 79th minute winner in the game. They have been relatively entertaining to watch this season and are firmly ensconced in mid-table with not much room to move up or go down the league.
THE TEAM NEWS
JUVENTUS
Both Nicolo Fagioli and Paul Pogba are out suspended for this weekend, whilst Carlos Alcaraz, Adrien Rabiot, Mattia Perin and Mattia De Sciglio are out injured.
PREDICTED XI (3-4-2-1): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cambiaso, Locatelli, Miretti, Iling-Junior; McKennie, Chiesa; Milik
UNAVAILABLE: Fagioli (Suspended), Pogba (Suspended), Alcaraz (Injured), Rabiot (Injured), Perin (Injured), De Sciglio (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE:
GENOA
Genoa have a couple of availability issues for themselves as Alan Matturro is a doubt this weekend. Stefano Sabelli is also suspended for this one.
PREDICTED XI (3-5-2): Martinez; De Winter, Bani, Vasquez; Spence, Messias, Badelj, Frendrup, Caricol; Retegui, Gudmundsson
UNAVAILABLE: Sabelli (Suspended)
QUESTIONABLE: Matturro (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Juventus are simply not to be trusted at the moment. They are pretty much assured of a spot in the top four but they have been so underwhelming of late and, surprisingly because it is out of character, susceptible at the back. They face a Genoa side that have been steady this season but are enduring a difficult patch of form. Despite their recent leaky nature, Juve should be able to squeeze out on top in what is likely to be a frustrating watch for the neutral on Sunday afternoon.
TIP: JUVENTUS TO WIN & UNDER 3.5 GOALS
