Genoa vs Juventus Analysis

Juventus takes on Genoa on Friday night safe in the knowledge they’ve secured Champions League football for yet another season, their 11th-straight, with Roma’s inability to win at home against Bologna last the weekend finally making it official.

It’s been a fantastic turnaround for Massimiliano Allegri’s men in 2022 as the ‘Bianconeri’ rank as Serie A’s No. 1 team over the calendar year so far and must surely be considered as one of the outright favorites for next season’s Scudetto title as a result.

Genoa meanwhile is in absolute must-win territory tonight as they threw away a much needed point against Sampdoria at the weekend with a late penalty miss in that game and now sit five points off Cagliari in 17th position and safety.

Juventus won the reverse fixture 2-0 between these two back in December over in Turin with goals from Cuadrado and Dybala securing the win for the home side.

Coppa Italia On The Horizon For Juve

While it hasn’t been the greatest of seasons for the ‘Old Lady’, getting dumped out of the Champions League by Villarreal, being off the pace by a full eight points in the Serie A title race and the whole European Super League fiasco which Juventus has never officially pulled out of, it’s been a 2021/22 season to forget for the Turin faithful.

However, there have been some positives for Juventus this season, especially with Allegri’s return to the club, and Juventus have the chance of lifting some much needed silverware this season as they face Inter in next week’s Coppa Italia final.

Genoa’s Offensive Woes

Genoa has also had a season to forget as they sit firmly rooted in the relegation zone this year and will need a huge effort if they’re going to survive at this point.

The writing’s been on the wall for this Genoa team for a while however as they’ve finished in 17th place (the spot immediately above the drop zone) four times over the last decade and will no doubt look to pull off the same trick again this season.

However, the ‘Rossoblu’ will need to start scoring goals if they’re going to achieve that as they’ve averaged just 0.71 goals per game this season in Serie A, the league’s lowest goals haul.

Genoa vs Juventus Prediction

Despite all their recent issues, we’re looking to take Genoa on the +0.5 handicap line at home on Friday, available at plus money at time of writing too, as Juventus continues to wind down its season.

Allegri has marshaled on some youth players over the last few weeks with 18 year old Fabio Mirreti coming on at the weekend against Venezia and we expect more wholesale changes to this Juventus squad ahead of this game also.

With Champions League officially confirmed for Juventus for next season, those changes are only going to grow as sole focus will now lie with winning next week’s huge clash against Inter over in the Coppa Italia final.

Take Genoa +0.5 on Friday over in Serie A against Juventus.
