Genoa vs Juventus: Serie A Prediction (31.08.2025)

On August 31, 2025, at 18:30 CEST, the second round of the Italian Serie A will feature a clash between Genoa and Juventus. The visitors are considered the favorites for this match. Let’s take a closer look at both teams’ current form at the start of the season and provide a prediction for the game.

Genoa

Last season, the Grifone finished only 13th in the league table. However, this season Genoa has every chance to compete for a place in the upper half. Their preseason was quite convincing: the team showed balanced play both in defense and attack. In four friendly matches, Genoa did not suffer a single defeat – two draws and two wins. The most notable result was the victory over Villarreal (3:1), which confirmed that Genoa is ready to compete with teams of European level.

This season, Genoa began with a Coppa Italia match against Vicenza Virtus. A 3:0 victory boosted their confidence, but in the first Serie A round they only managed a draw against Lecce. The match was tough and lacked dangerous chances.

Juventus

La Vecchia Signora did not perform at their best last season, but overall it can be considered a positive one as they still managed to qualify for the Champions League. However, the team’s confidence is not what it used to be. Juventus recorded 16 draws out of 38 games – the most among all Serie A clubs.

The Turin side did not have enough time for a proper preseason as they participated in the Club World Cup. As expected, they defeated Al-Ain and Wydad, but struggled against top opponents, losing to Manchester City (2:5) and Real Madrid (0:1). In Serie A, the Bianconeri started successfully with a 2:0 win over Parma. However, Andrea Cambiaso received a red card in that game, which means he will definitely miss the next match.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

Recent head-to-head stats favor Juventus. Last season, the Turin side won both meetings. However, the three matches before that ended with two draws and one victory for Genoa.

Prediction

For the Genoa vs Juventus clash, the prediction leans toward the visitors. With a stronger squad, Juventus looks more convincing. Therefore, the recommended bet is on Juventus to win with odds of 1.90.
