Genoa vs Juventus Match Summary
Competition | Italian Serie A |
|---|---|
Match Date | Wednesday 28 October 2026 |
Match Time | 19:45 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Luigi Ferraris |
Juventus head to Luigi Ferraris on Wednesday night for Genoa vs Juventus in Serie A, priced at 5/6 with 10Bet despite a treatment room that would test any squad.
Genoa sit 16th, but Daniele De Rossi's side are finally stirring. A home win over Venezia capped a run that has delivered the bulk of their points over their last three outings.
Juventus arrive seventh in the table. A 2-0 win over Lecce lifted the mood, but Luciano Spalletti is without Locatelli, Yildiz and Thuram among a lengthy absentee list.
History gives Genoa little to cling to. Juventus have won their last four matches against Genoa in all competitions, and have kept a clean sheet in their last five against them in all competitions.
Genoa vs Juventus Form
Genoa have won just two of their last ten matches against all opponents, but the direction of travel is better. They are unbeaten in their last three home fixtures, and Mikael Ellertsson's winner against Venezia showed the wing-back can make the difference. Stubborn at home, then, even if goals remain hard to come by.
Juventus have won five of their last ten matches against all opponents, which is solid rather than spectacular. McKennie and Douglas Luiz scored in the win over Lecce, and Douglas Luiz led Serie A in passes completed in the opposition half heading into this fixture. With Locatelli out, he is the engine room.

Genoa vs Juventus Prediction & Best Bets

Best Bets
Juventus to win at Genoa in the Win Market. They are the model's clear favourites against a Genoa side ranked 16th. This is the strongest of our Genoa vs Juventus best bets, with the visitors carrying a 60% win probability. Yildiz, Thuram and Locatelli are all missing, yet the projection still has Juventus scoring roughly twice as many as a Genoa side that struggle to finish their chances.
Over 2.5 in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The model projects 2.7 goals. Treat this as a value play rather than anything stronger, because meetings between these sides have been low-scoring affairs. Still, it is the top-rated value bet across the bookmakers, and a depleted Juventus engine room should make this a messier, more open contest than usual.
Genoa vs Juventus Bet Builder
Our Genoa vs Juventus bet builder tips target a fiery night, combining a Johan Vásquez card, Genoa over 1.5 cards and Daniele Rugani to commit over 1.5 fouls.
Johan Vásquez has been carded in three of his last four Serie A appearances. He is in the probable back three, facing a Juventus side that attempt through balls often.
Genoa have received two or more cards in seven of their last eight Serie A matches. Aggression is part of their identity, and Juventus routinely draw aggressive opponents.
Daniele Rugani has committed two or more fouls in five of his last five Serie A appearances against Genoa. He is not in the probable XI, so this leg needs him on the pitch.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 15/1 and is as short as 35/4 elsewhere.

Genoa vs Juventus Talking Points
The big question is whether this one breaks the pattern. Genoa have seen under 2.5 goals in five of their last six matches against Juventus in all competitions, and Spalletti wants his side to keep pushing across both halves rather than sitting back on a lead. Without Locatelli, the midfield may not control games the way it usually does. Set pieces are the other angle. Juventus are dangerous from attacking dead balls, while Genoa are vulnerable in aerial duels, and that looks the most direct route for the visitors.
