Genoa form and stats

Genoa have collected 3 points from their Serie A home games so far after 1-0-4. It's been an uphill battle for Genoa in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Crotone game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

Genoa drew their last game, 1-1 away at Fiorentina (placed 17th). Ahead of that match, Genoa lost 1-2 at home to Parma.

The hometeam coach R. Maran made a successful contribution in the game against Fiorentina, bringing on Marko Pjaca who scored the equalizer in the 1-1 draw.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Milan are coming to town in three days.

Genoa are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games. Genoa are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (10 from 5 played).

Juventus form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 1 win, 4 draws and 0 defeats. Two points from the last two away games for Juventus, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

It's the second away game in a row for Juventus, but there's smiles all around after the 3-0 victory versus Barcelona in the Champions League last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Torino.

Juventus goalie Gianluigi Buffon was high and low in the Barcelona game, contributing seven saves towards the victory.

A quick return to home after this game, as Juventus are hosting Atalanta in the Serie A only three days away.

The travelling fans enjoy Juventus's attacking play in away games, having scored 9 goals in 5 league matches away. As opposed to that, Juventus have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.

Head 2 Head
