Match facts

Juventus

Juventus have kept a clean sheet in their last 6 home matches against Genoa in all competitions.
The Bianconeri have won their last 6 home matches against Genoa in all competitions.
Juventus have won 11 of their last 13 meetings with Genoa at home (W11 D2) dating back to Serie B in 2006/2007.
If they were to win this match, Juventus would become the third side to manage to win all nine of their opening matches to a Serie A season after Juventus in 2005/06 and AS Roma in 2013/14.
Paulo Dybala has scored five goals in his five Serie A games against Genoa, including his first-ever hat-trick in the competition (August 2017).

Genoa

Genoa picked up 12 points in Serie A this season, but sacked Davide Ballardini as manager during the October international break – the last time that they won more in their first seven games of a top-flight campaign was in 2009/10 (13 points).
If Krzysztof Piatek scores against Juventus, he would become the third player in the history of Serie A to score in every one of the first eight games played by this team in a season after Gabriel Batistuta and Ezio Pascutti.

Predictions

Juventus have not fired blanks against Genoa at home since January 1991 and it’s hard to see them slipping up here. Piatek, of course, will hope to continue his hot streak. But he will be up against one of the strongest defenses in Europe and it will be an interesting match – pitting the player who’s scored in every game against the team who has won every game.

The Bianconeri surely will come out on top here, but will they be able to keep a clean sheet?
