Match Information
Match Overview
Genoa host Juventus at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on October 28 in Serie A Regular Season - Round 9, a Matchday 9 fixture in which the season is starting to take shape. Genoa sit 16th in the table and Juventus are 7th, so the two sides come into this match at different ends of the standings.
The primary factor is recent league form. Genoa have won two of their last four Serie A matches, beating Fiorentina 2-1 on October 10 and Venezia 1-0 on October 25. Between those results came a 2-0 away loss to AS Roma on October 17. Before that, they lost 2-1 at Parma on September 20. A club friendly defeat to Rapid on October 2 is not a league result, so it carries little weight. Under D. De Rossi, Genoa have recently shown they can pick up home wins, but the table shows they are still looking for consistency.
Juventus bring a more mixed picture. They won 2-0 at Lecce on October 25, but lost 3-0 at home to Lazio on October 18 and drew 1-1 at Cagliari on October 11. Their schedule has also been busy: they drew 2-2 with Rennes in the UEFA Europa League on October 22 and won 2-1 at Celta Vigo on October 15. That adds a fatigue and rotation dimension for L. Spalletti's squad, though both teams have had the same number of days between their October 25 league games and this fixture.
Head-to-head history favors the visitors. Juventus have won each of the last five meetings, including 2-0 on April 6, 2026 and 1-0 at Genoa on August 31, 2025.
Neither side has any reported injuries or unavailable players, so both managers should have full squads to choose from. In short, Genoa are looking to build on a narrow home win, while Juventus aim to turn a recent away victory into steadier league form.

Team Form Analysis
Genoa
League Position: 16Genoa Form Analysis
Genoa's recent Serie A results read W-L-W-L, working back from the 1-0 home win over Venezia on October 25. That win followed a 2-0 defeat at AS Roma on October 17 and a 2-1 home win over Fiorentina on October 10. Before those, Genoa lost 2-1 at Parma on September 20 in Round 5.
In attack, Genoa scored three goals across their last four league matches, an average of 0.75 per game. Their two wins came at home, by 2-1 and 1-0, so they have not won by a wide margin. Defensively, they conceded four goals in those four league games, and both defeats were away from home. They kept a clean sheet only against Venezia.
The October 2 friendly loss to Rapid (2-0) was a non-competitive fixture and should not weigh heavily on the form picture. The league run includes two matches at the Ferraris, both won, against opponents Genoa will have viewed as winnable fixtures. The trip to Roma was the clearest test of quality, and it ended in defeat. Genoa's league position of 16th reflects a side still searching for more consistent results.
Juventus
League Position: 7Juventus Form Analysis
Juventus have had a mixed run across competitions. In Serie A they won 2-0 at Lecce on October 25, lost 3-0 at home to Lazio on October 18 and drew 1-1 at Cagliari on October 11. That is one win, one draw and one loss from three league games, and the Lazio defeat is the most notable setback.
In Europe, they beat Celta Vigo 2-1 away on October 15 and drew 2-2 at home with Rennes on October 22 in the UEFA Europa League league stage. These matches matter mainly as schedule context: Juventus played three times in the eleven days from October 15 to October 25 and had two league games with a continental fixture between them.
In attack, Juventus scored six goals in their last five matches across all competitions, a steady if unspectacular return. Defensively, they conceded eight in the same stretch, including three against Lazio and two against Rennes. The clean sheet at Lecce stands out as the exception. Their 7th-place standing is a more solid footing than Genoa's, though recent form suggests there is room to improve.

The 3-0 Juventus win at Genoa on September 28, 2024 is the biggest recent margin on Genoa soil.
