Last year, Genoa returned to the Italian top-flight division, finishing 11th, and their goal this season is undoubtedly to try to repeat that success. Unfortunately, the popular Griffin did not start the season on the right foot, as they won just five points in five rounds and were also knocked out from the Coppa Italia by a Serie B team, Sampdoria. And now, they will have a really tough schedule as they will face Juventus, Atalanta, Bologna, Lazio, and Fiorentina in the next five games. So, they could easily slip into the relegation zone after these few games.

Juventus won the Coppa Italia last season but did not impress in Serie A. They finished 3rd but not even remotely close to Inter, which eventually finished 23 points away. This season, Juventus added one of the best young coaches, Thiago Motta, and also heavily improved the squad. Still, Juventus had a mediocre start, winning nine points in five rounds, and are currently sitting in 4th place - two points away from the top spot. Right now, the bookies see Juventus as the second favorite for the title, only behind Inter.

Genoa vs Juventus pick: Under 2.5 goals

Genoa had a good start this season, winning seven points in the first three rounds. But after that initial start, they were terrible as they failed to win in the following four games and scored just two goals - 0.5 per game. They are a team that generally had big problems offensively last season, and those problems only became greater with Gudmundsson and Retegui leaving the team. And for now, the replacements are not looking as good as expected.

Juventus have been absolutely great defensively, keeping a clean sheet in all five Serie A rounds. On the other hand, the offense isn't looking as great, and that combination of superb defense and mediocre offense makes them perfect for this type of bet. Right now, Juve averaged only 1.2 goals per game in their Serie A games - by far the least in the league.

In the previous season, these teams drew 0:0 and 1:1. Considering the previous h2h games and all the above, we believe that an under 2.5 goals is the safest option for this Serie A tie.

Ruslan Malinovskyi suffered an injury in the previous Serie A game vs Venezia. According to Italian media, he suffered a broken ankle and will be sidelined until February 2025. Besides him, Brooke Norton-Cuffy and Junior Messias should remain sidelined with their injuries.

On the other hand, Fabio Miretti recovered from his injury and played limited minutes in the Cup against Sampdoria. However, since he is on a loan deal from Juventus, he will not be available for this game anyway.

Juventus

Juventus team news

In the previous game against Napoli, coach Motta replaced Dusan Vlahovic after the 1st half, and according to Serbian media, Juventus are really disappointed with his performances this year. There are reports that the club wants to lower his paycheck by about a quarter, but Vlahovic disagreed. Also, there are some reports that Juventus wants to replace him with Victor Osimhen, but Galatasaray aren't willing to let him go in January.

The team should have no new injuries or suspensions, but the ones who missed the previous games should remain sidelined - Arkadiusz Milik, Francisco Conceicao, Vasilije Adzic, and Paul Pogba.
