Juventus vs Genoa

Kenan Yildiz (seven goals, 4 May 2005) equalled Moise Kean (seven) as the player with the most goals scored for Juventus in the three points for a win era in Serie A (since 1994/95) before turning 20.

Only Lamine Yamal (six, born in 2007) and Assane Diao (six, born in 2005) are younger than Kenan Yildiz (five goals, 4 May 2005) among the players with at least five goals scored in the Big-5 European leagues underway.

Juventus have won both two seasonal Serie A games against Genoa for the first time since 2020/21 (both 3-1 with Andrea Pirlo on the bench).

Juventus are the opponents against which Genoa have recorded the most defeats in Serie A: 68, at least eight more than against any other in the competition, with 22 wins for the Grifone and 23 draws, making a total of 113 meetings.

In Serie A, Juventus have not lost at home to Genoa since January 20, 1991, when Luigi Maifredi was in charge. Since then, Juventus have collected 15 wins and five draws; in the competition, the Bianconeri have a longer unbeaten home streak only against Brescia (23), Bari (30), and Hellas Verona (34).

Juventus have collected 13 draws and suffered three defeats so far this season, failing to win in 16 out of the 29 matches played; it’s the first time since 2010/11 that Juventus have failed to win at least 16 times after 29 Serie A matches (with nine draws and nine defeats in that case).

In his previous period as manager in Serie A under Lazio (also in that case for the last nine games of Serie A in 2023/24), Igor Tudor picked up 18 points with the Capitoline team (exactly two on average per match, level with Inter), only Atalanta gained more with 19 points (2.1 on average) – in addition, the Biancocelesti conceded the fewest goals in this period in Serie A (six goals conceded).

Juventus have not scored in their last two Serie A matches and have already registered three games in a row without scoring once this season, in September against Roma, Empoli, and Napoli; this could be only their third season with two streaks of at least three consecutive games without goals for the Bianconeri in the competition, after 1955/56 with Sandro Puppo and 1962/63 with Paulo Amaral.
