Juventus vs Genoa Prediction
Juventus have not been at their very best this season, and have often struggled to get results. They are fourth in Serie A, seven points behind league leaders AC Milan with a game in hand. Cristiano Ronaldo continues to be the team's talisman, and has already scored 15 league goals.
Genoa, on the other hand, are 17th in the league table, two points ahead of 18th-placed Torino. Players like Davide Zappacosta, Milan Badelj and Mattia Destro have international experience and could cause trouble for Juve.
However, Juventus will be the favorites to win this game and we expect them to do so.
Prediction: Juventus 3-1 Genoa
