Juventus-Genoa

The defending champions and 3rd place Juventus will host 13th place Genoa in the 30th week of Serie A 2020/21, on Sunday (11/4/2021). A win at Allianz Stadium could increase Bianconeri's chances of finishing in the top four.

Juventus have just won the postponed match against Napoli. In Turin in the middle of last week, Andrea Pirlo's team won 2-1 thanks to goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala.

Juventus now have 59 points, one point behind AC Milan and 12 points apart from leaders Inter Milan. 

Juventus are now focused on finishing in the top four because the Scudetto is arguably no longer a realistic target for them.

Juventus' opponents this time are Genoa, who the previous week drew 1-1 with Fiorentina at home. Juventus need to be aware of Mattia Destro, who broke into the Fiorentina goal and has scored ten goals in Serie A this season.

At the first meeting in Serie A this season, on week 11, Juventus won 3-1 at home to Genoa. One Genoa goal was scored by Stefano Sturaro, while Juventus's three goals were scored by Cristiano Ronaldo (2 penalties) and Paulo Dybala.

After that, Juventus and Genoa met in the last 16 of the Coppa Italia. Playing in Turin, Juventus won 3-2 thanks to Hamza Rafia's extra-time goal.

Juventus have always won in their last four matches against Genoa in all competitions. This time too, the Bianconeri are believed to be able to overthrow Genoa again.
