Match Preview
Juventus could be judging their return to form perfectly and will continue their pursuit of Serie A (SA) leaders Napoli when they host a Genoa side.
After an indifferent start, Juventus have stormed back into contention and are in a direct fight with Napoli, who are one point ahead. The depth in their squad should help the Champions stave off the injury crisis that currently engulfs them.
Genoa sit just six points above the bottom three, but have found their rhythm in recent matches. The visitors have lost just once in their last eight SA games (W4, D3, L1) and even started the new year with a 1-0 win over Sassuolo.
The hosts have been immaculate at both ends of the pitch (49 goals scored, 15 conceded) this campaign. They have kept 11 clean sheets in SA – more than any other side – and have conceded only one goal in their last 11 games in all competitions.
Their visitors have scored only 16 goals so far – the second-fewest – while drawing blanks in seven of their ten trips in SA. However, they have conceded more than one goal only once in these games (10%).
Genoa haven’t conceded in four SA games on the trot. Another clean sheet will make it the first time they have done so since 1964!
Key battles: In the absence of Paulo Dybala, Douglas Costa remains the top bet for Juventus. Can he fill the void?
His task will be tough against Genoa’s rock Ervin Zukanovic, who has made the most interceptions and clearances for them so far.
Stat attack: The last time Genoa won at Juventus in SA was way back in 1991, a run of 14 games without victory (L11, D3).
