Genoa vs Juventus prediction: Margins likely to be slim
Key Stats
- Three of Juventus’s last four matches have featured under 2.5 goals.
- Genoa failed to win any of their first three home games of the new Serie A campaign.
- Juventus have yet to taste defeat in Serie A this term.
- Juventus have yet to concede a single goal in the league this season (five games).
Correct score prediction: Genoa 0-1 Juventus
Juventus have found goal-getting tough of late, though the Turin giants have yet to concede a goal in Serie A this season and with their defence looking solid, a single strike could be enough to see off Genoa.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Hosts installed as underdogs
- HOME: 9/2 (5.50) – 18.2%
- DRAW: 5/2 (3.50) – 28.6%
- AWAY: 7/10 (1.70) – 58.8%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Genoa were knocked out of the Coppa Italia by local rivals Sampdoria in midweek, while their league form shows a run of three games without a win, including defeats to Verona and Venezia.
With that dismal run a factor, it’s easy to why they have been priced as 9/2 underdogs ahead of the weekend. Unbeaten Juventus represent much better value in the match result market at 7/10. Head over to our Serie A football tips page for more Italian football predictions.

Player to watch – Nicolò Savona
Promising younger defender Nicolò Savona has been enjoying a more prominent role for Juventus this season under new manager Thiago Motta and the 21-year-old will be out to impress again on Saturday.
Savona aiming to establish himself
Operating primarily as a left back so far, Savona has been averaging 1.50 tackles per game for Juventus in Serie A this term and the academy product is already off the mark in terms of goals thanks to his well-taken strike at Verona last month.
