These Genoa vs. Juventus predictions see Max Allegri’s Bianconeri looking to extend their strong form against the Grifone. The visitors have won each of their last six matches against their weekend hosts, who look set for relegation from Serie A this season.
Genoa vs. Juventus odds
1 – Juventus to win – 13/15
2 – Juventus to keep a clean sheet – 6/4
3 – Under 2.5 goals scored – 6/7
4 – Leonardo Bonucci to score anytime – 9/1
5 – Duan Vlahovic to score first – 9/2
Juventus look to continue their strong spell of form as they travel to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Friday evening. Their hosts Genoa, on the other hand, have lost all but one of their last five matches and defeat could potentially mathematically seal their relegation this weekend.
Despite securing yet another top-four finish, the Bianconeri have been far from their best this season. Allegri’s side have managed to secure wins despite struggling to convince in either of the last two matches against Sassuolo and Venezia.
The Old Lady have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six matches, however, they are up against the worst attacking side in Serie A on Friday evening. Genoa have scored just 25 goals this season, averaging just 0.7 per game, with their top scorer Mattia Destro on a seven-match dry spell. As a result, a bet on the visitors to keep a clean sheet could well pay off at the Luigi Ferraris.
That said, Juventus haven’t looked much better going forward in recent weeks. Despite having invested heavily in both Alvaro Morata and Dusan Vlahovic this season, neither managed to hit the target against a struggling Venezia back line last weekend.
Instead, Leonardo Bonucci was required on two separate occasions to drag the Bianconeri into the lead. Defending set pieces has proven a particular problem for Genoa this season and given that two were required for Juventus to win last weekend, we’ve highlighted the odds on the centre-back to bag yet again.
Should free-kicks and corners not pay off for the visitors, fans could be in for yet another low-scoring Juventus match, with good odds on fewer than 2.5 goals to be scored. Of course, Vlahovic and company will be looking to ensure that this is not the case, with the Serbian forward favourite to score anytime against Genoa.

Juventus team news
Allegri remains without key players such as Manuel Locatelli, Weston Mckennie, Juan Cuadrado and Federico Chiesa. The Juve coach saw Arthur return last weekend from the bench though, with the Brazilian likely to start alongside Dennis Zakari against Genoa. Paolo Dybala was dropped last time out in favour of a Vlahovic and Morata front two but will hope to start this week.
