Current form — Juventus v. Genoa
The Bianconeri to pick up the pieces
Juventus will be out to extend their fine run of results lately. Massimiliano Allegri’s side suffered a couple of disappointments in their last 3 matches, as they were run over by Chelsea in a 4-0 defeat. Atalanta also proved too hard to handle, as they won 1-0, before Juventus were able to strike back last time out in a 2-0 win against Salernitana.
The Rossoblu to pick up the pieces
Genoa will enter the match hoping to finally end their dismal run of form in recent matches. Only a single point prevents Andriy Shevchenko’s side from having nothing to show for their previous 3 games. They came up short in a 0-2 defeat against Roma before drawing 0-0 with Udinese by a score. They were back on loser street last time out, when AC Milan ran out 0-3 winners.
How do the bookies see it?
Just limiting an expected defeat might be the target for Genoa here. Siding with Juventus at odds 1.28 with Mr. Green is a no-brainer in the kind of form they are displaying. Should this price be a tad low for your betting strategy, consider adding it to an accumulator.

Juventus, who are in seventh with 24 points, will do their part to widen the distance to their upcoming opponents this coming Sunday.
Top marksman
