Genoa take on the visitors Juventus in the round 6 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, September 28th at Stadio Luigi Ferraris (Genoa).
Genoa managed not to get stuck in Serie B, making their way back under the leadership of Alberto Gilardino. With 12 wins and 49 points, they finished in 11th place, right in the middle of the table. Along the way, several players showed their potential. In January, Dragusin was sold to Tottenham, and in the summer, Josep Martinez, Retegui, and Gudmundsson (on loan) left. Despite bringing in several new players, it seems the Genoa club has stalled early in the new cycle. Initially, there were some successes: they beat Reggiana in the cup and drew 2-2 with Serie A champions Inter, as well as securing a 1-0 away win against newly promoted Monza. However, they only managed a draw with Roma and suffered defeats against Verona and even Venezia—where Malinovskyi also sustained a serious injury. Without him, in the Coppa Italia against Sampdoria, they drew 1-1 in regular time but lost on penalties.

Juventus underwent significant changes this summer. The "Old Lady" bounced back from a couple of unsuccessful seasons, winning the Coppa Italia and finishing 3rd in Serie A. However, there were tensions as Allegri clashed with several people, and in 2024 the Turin club made numerous mistakes. After a scandal in the cup final, Massimiliano was fired early. He was replaced in the summer by Thiago Motta, who sensationally led Bologna to the Champions League in 2023/2024. Juventus also revamped the squad, parting ways with several key players (Szczęsny retired) and spending €150 million on new signings, including Douglas Luiz and Koopmeiners. The "Bianconeri" started with a couple of dominant 3-0 wins against Como and Verona. However, they only secured one more victory—3-1 away at PSV in the Champions League. In Serie A, they drew 0-0 in matches against Roma, Empoli, and Napoli.
The "Griffins" are unbeaten in their last three meetings with Juventus, having won once before their relegation to Serie B and drawing twice since returning. The visitors are considered the favorites, but they are also dealing with issues, particularly in attack. Therefore, the best bet here is "Total goals under 2.5."
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
