Genoa vs Juventus Prediction

Genoa are currently 19th in Serie A, three points behind 17th-placed Cagliari. They have lost four of their last five league games, but still stand a chance of avoiding relegation. However, a positive result against Juventus will not come easily.

Juventus, on the other hand, are 4th in the league, one point behind 3rd-placed Napoli. It has been a disappointing season for Massimiliano Allegri's men, and it is clear that Juventus need to enjoy a strong summer transfer window if they are to challenge for the title next season.

Juventus will be the favourites.

Prediction: Genoa 0-2 Juventus
