For readers looking for Juventus vs Genoa: Prediction, Team News, and Lineups Preview, Filmogaz.com has the latest analysis. This match carries importance for both clubs.

Form and recent context

Juventus dropped points in their final game before the international break. Kenan Yildiz opened the scoring, but an equaliser arrived early in the second half. A late penalty was awarded, then taken by Manuel Locatelli and saved, costing Juve two crucial points.

The club has also exited European competition and the Coppa Italia. They have won only two of their last seven Serie A matches and sit 13th in the form table over that span.

Across the season so far, Juventus have lost six of 30 league matches. Only once in the past 15 years has Juve recorded more defeats at this stage.

Head-to-head and recent meetings

History favours Juventus in Turin. Across 57 top-flight meetings in the city, Genoa have won just twice. Juve claimed 44 victories in those matches.

The last Juventus home defeat to Genoa dates back to 1991. Juventus kept clean sheets in the last four Serie A meetings, collecting ten points from a possible 12.

Genoa under Daniele De Rossi

Daniele De Rossi replaced the previous coach in autumn. Since his arrival, Genoa average 1.35 points per game. The team has shown improvement after a poor start.

Genoa lost 2-0 to Udinese just before the break, failing to score in a game they largely controlled. They remain six points clear of the relegation zone.

The side have won only three of 14 away attempts this season. Road form is a clear weakness for the Rossoblu.

Team news

Juventus should be close to full strength. Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik returned at the end of March. Only Vasilije Adzic is expected to miss the match.

Vlahovic is fit to play, though Kenan Yildiz may continue in a false-nine role. Jeremie Boga could provide support in attack.

Mattia Perin appears to have overtaken Michele Di Gregorio as Juventus’ first-choice goalkeeper.

Genoa’s winter signing Justin Bijlow has become their number one. He will likely start behind centre-back Leo Ostigard, who has five Serie A goals. Lorenzo Colombo leads Genoa by one goal, with six on the season.

Brooke Norton-Cuffy and Maxwel Cornet are both managing muscular problems. Their availability for Monday is uncertain.
