Sarri’s troops have won their last five Serie A games. Genoa have scored four penalties in their last two games. It is interesting what the teams expect from tomorrow’s match.

 

Turin’s Juventus have arrived in Genoa for the 29th round of Serie A. They will undoubtedly be the favorites for Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris on June 30. Maurizio Sarri’s side lead the table with 69 points, ahead of second-placed Lazio by four points. On the other hand, tomorrow’s opponent Genoa is in 16th place with 26 points, just one point ahead of the relegation zone.

Juventus has an excellent series in the Italian championship. Maurizio Sarri’s troops have won 5 matches in a row, and the difference in balls shows a lot – 12: 1. Juve will go on the field with a fighting squad and that, despite having a few injured players. Alex Sandro, Mattia de Sciglio, Sami Khedira, Merih Demiral, and Giorgio Chiellini will not be able to play on the field due to various injuries.

By the way, the latter, like another veteran of Turin, Gianluigi Buffon, today, continued his contract with the club once again. Chiellini, 35, and Buffon, 42, will stay at Juventus until 2021. For reference, Giorgio has been defending the honor of “Old Lady” since 2005, and Gianluigi played for Juventus in 2001-18, then for 1 season, he moved to French PSG and returned to his native club.

Due to injuries, Domenico Criscito, Gianluca Lapadula, and Ivan Radovanovic will not be able to help Genoa. They have not won their home race since February 9. In the two matches after the forced pause caused by the pandemic, the referees awarded 4 (!) Penalties in favor of the Genoese, however, the troops of David Nicolas still scored only 1 point.
