Juventus – Genoa Serie A: 23rd April 2017

Heroes on “Camp Nou”

Allegri pupils have thrown at the nose of those who thought Juventus would have the same fate as PSG on Camp Nou. Under the cover of an impeccable Allegri mercenary tactics, “The Lady of the Lady” ended the double hand in front of Barcelona without even receiving a goal, proving once again the solidity of an exceptional defensive, guided by the legendary Gianluigi Buffon. Strictly referring to the championship, there are chances that the “bianconers” will not force against the Genoa, given the rewarding eight-point advantage they hold at the top of the hierarchy with only six stages before the final.

Unpredictable

Although it is just nine lengths away from the last relegable place, it’s hard to believe that Genoa will be topped by both Empoli and Crotone. In spite of a championship return in which they had embarrassing results, the “grifoni” will continue on the first football scene in Italy and next season. Moreover, Genoa can make nice surprises when no one expects, and here we remember its victories with Fiorentina (1-0), Milan (3-0) or even with Juventus (3-1).

Conclusions & tips:

Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a more balanced game than odds show. Obviously, Allegri will rest a lot of players after the heroic game last few days on the “New Camp”, while the offensive potential of the “Griffons” could yield fruit through names like Taarabt or Simeone. Consequently, we do not exclude a scenario in which both groups will register on “Juventus Stadium”.
