Juventus will invite Genoa to the Allianz Stadium (Juventus Stadium) in Serie A action on Sunday.
The hosts have endured a poor run of form recently, with just one win in their last seven league outings. Second-half goals from Andrea Cambiaso and Arkadiusz Milik helped them play out a 2-2 draw at home against Atalanta last week. Their poor form has seen them drop to third place in the league standings and trail league leaders Inter Milan by 17 points.
The visitors have not fared much better and have just one win in their last six league games. They have suffered back-to-back losses in their two games in March and suffered a 3-2 home loss to Monza last week.
Second-half goals from Albert Guðmundsson and Vitinha helped them come back from two goals down but Daniel Maldini's 79th-minute strike helped Monza eke out a narrow win.

Juventus vs Genoa Prediction
I Bianconeri have just one win in their last seven league outings while suffering three defeats. Interestingly, they have conceded two goals apiece in their last four games and will look to improve upon their defensive performance in this match. They are unbeaten at home against the visitors since 1991, recording 19 wins in 23 games.
Massimiliano Allegri welcomes back Dusan Vlahovic from a suspension while Adrien Rabiot is also available after overcoming a foot injury. While Vlahovic is expected to start here, Rabiot will likely be benched.
Il Grifone have lost three of their last five league games and will look to improve upon that record. They have lost just one of their last six away games in Serie A. Nonetheless, they have just one win in away meetings against the hosts since 1991 and might struggle here.
There are no team news updates for manager Alberto Gilardino ahead of the trip to Turin but he will be without defender Stefano Sabelli, who is suspended due to yellow card accumulation.
While both teams have been in poor form recently, considering Juve's home record in this fixture and home form this season, they are expected to eke out a narrow win.
