Genoa will welcome Juventus to the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in Serie A on Saturday. The hosts have one win in five league games and are in 16th place in the league table with five points. The Old Lady have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their league campaign and are in fourth place with nine points.
Il Grifone are winless in their last three league games and fell to a 2-0 away loss to Venezia last week. Their poor run continued in the Coppa Italia second round on Tuesday as they were eliminated on penalties by arch-rivals Sampdoria. Andrea Pinamonti had scored in the ninth minute but Fabio Borini equalized for Sampdoria in the 83rd minute. Sampdoria won 6-5 in the ensuing penalty shootout.
The visitors began their league campaign with two consecutive wins but have played out goalless draws in their last three games. They played a goalless draw at home against Napoli last week, keeping their fifth clean sheet in as many league games.

Ruslan Malinovskyi was injured against Venezia last week, fracturing his lower leg, and faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Brooke Norton-Cuffy remains sidelined with an injury while David Akpan Ankeye, Junior Messias, and Caleb Ekuban are nursing injuries.
I Bianconeri have drawn their last three league outings while keeping clean sheets. They have drawn five of their last six away games in Serie A and are winless in their last two away games against Genoa, suffering one defeat.
