The struggling Genoa side has an uphill task this week as they face a charged-up Juventus in Serie A. This matchday 16 will be played at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium on Friday. The hosts are 14th in the standings before this round, with 15 points and the visitors are 2nd with 36 points. Genoa find themselves just three points above the bottom-three and are anxiously looking over their shoulder. They were beaten 1-0 by Monza in their last league game that made it a fifth loss across their last eight Serie A matches. This sequence has landed two wins and a draw as well, but the points have been sparse for them. Despite such worries. Genoa have proven themselves to be a thorn in the flesh when they play at home. They have three wins and a draw from their last five home league matches, with the only defeat coming against Milan.

Juventus are firmly in the Serie A title race and are only two points behind current leaders Inter Milan. A win here will give a temporary stake at that claim and don’t discount the Old Lady from doing that. The visitors are 1-0 winners over Napoli last matchday, making it seven wins and a draw from their last eight league games. They have lost only once in this league campaign, winning 11 and drawing three of their 15 matches. They remain one of the best defensive units of the division which has played a vital role in their success. With only nine goals conceded, Juve have the second-best defensive record in Serie A this season. The away record is even more impressive with Juventus winning five of their seven Serie A away games – drawing and losing one each. Barring that defeat, Juventus have conceded a single goal in these matches. further highlighting their problems.
