H2H: Juventus Turin vs. Genoa CFC – Prediction (Serie A

Preview and Teams Comparison.

The last time Genoa won two consecutive Serie A games against Juventus was back in 1991 – they won their most recent match against the Bianconeri, 2-0 in March 2019. Whilst a 1-1 draw at Lecce last time out ended a seven-game competitive winning streak, Juventus still remain unbeaten this season in all competitions (W9, D3), winning all four SA home games. Paulo Dybala (JUV) has scored three goals in his last two competitive matches, with all three arriving after half-time. Juventus’ dominance appears to be continuing, yet one thing that appears to have changed in comparison to last season is their defence, after conceding in eight of their 12 competitive matches so far (66.67%). Even at home, Juventus have kept only two clean sheets across their six competitive games, conceding three goals in total before the break.

Juventus were leading at half-time in only two of their last five competitive home matches (HT: W2, D2, L1). Juventus have won six of the last seven home H2Hs, conceding only once – albeit that was in the last H2H held here (1-1). In every SA away game they’ve played this season, at least one half has seen Genoa concede at least two goals.

Opponents Genoa beat Brescia 3-1 last time out, thanks to three goals from three substitutes during a 15-minute spell in the second half. That ended a six-game winless streak (D1, L5), but away from home they have picked up just one point (Roma 3-3), conceding at least three goals in all four SA road trips this season (D1, L3). Christian Kouamé (GEN) has netted all four of his SA goals this term after the break, including one last time out. Additionally, the visitors have been losing at half-time by at least a two-goal margin in their previous two away matches, and have conceded 15 of their 21 SA goals (71.43%) this term away from home. In return, they have scored just five away goals, with the last three arriving before the break.
