Genoa vs Juventus Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Preview

Genoa will look to overturn what has historically been a tough fixture for them when they play host to defending champions Juventus on Saturday in Serie A's second week of action. Genoa got off to a decent start last week by drawing 0-0 away to Sassuolo. It was largely an even match, but they failed to show the initiative it took to grab victory. Juventus got off to a comfortable start with a 3-0 win at home over Cagliari. It took just 12 minutes for them to find the net through Mario Mandzukic. On the cusp of half time, Paulo Dybala scored to take them into the break two goals up. Gonzalo Higuain put any doubt there was away after 66 minutes to complete their victory. Below we have our betting tips, predictions, team news and match stats all in our SBAT preview.

Genoa represented one of the five losses that Juventus took last season, all away from home, so they might just feel a little confident that they could do it again. Then again, that was accomplished with the help of two goals from the departed Gio Simeone and an own goal that shell shocked Juve. In the last four matches in which Juve beat Genoa, they kept a clean sheet and the match was fairly close- with the exception of their 4-0 home win in April. We expect to see Juve's strong defence keep a clean sheet again as they get six points up on the board. Juve to win and keep a clean sheet is at 21/20. Juve is also at 21/20 to win despite being down to -1 on the handicap result.
