Serie A preview and odds: Juventus vs Genoa

February 03, 201519:45pm - Juventus Stadium

Serie A

Juventus will be looking for their 13th-straight league win on Wednesday night when 16th-ranked Genoa are the visitors to Turin in Serie A.

The remarkable return of the Old Lady

Last week, Juventus extended their run of consecutive Serie A wins to 12 with a 4-0 win away to Chievo. The reigning champions may have had a stuttering start to the season, but they have responded in the best possible style, and could even return to the top of the league on Wednesday night if other results go their way.

The Bianconeri have conceded just two goals in their last six home games, and are unbeaten at the Juventus Stadium since August. Their last draw on home soil came way back in September.

Striker Paulo Dybala has played an integral part in Juve`s revival, having scored 12 goals and provided eight assists.

Genoa keeping their heads above water

Genoa are currently enjoying their best run of form this term, having won two and drawn two of their last four games. Prior to that, they had lost five games in a row, and were heading towards the drop zone. The Rossoblu currently sit in 16th place with a five-point cushion over the first relegation position.

Last time out, Gian Gasperini`s men held high-flying Fiorentina to a 0-0 draw at home, and prior to that, they bagged another point away to Verona (1-1). However, they have only won one of their last 12 matches on the road.

Team news

The home side will be without Mario Mandzukic, Kwadwo Asamoah and Mario Lemina.

Meanwhile, the visitors will have a full-strength side to choose from.
