Genoa will host Juventus at the Luigi Ferraris on Sunday in the second round of the 2025-26 Italian Serie A campaign. The home side coasted past Vicenza in their first competitive game of the new campaign, beating the third tier outfit 3-0 in the round of 64 of the Coppa Italia via goals from Valentin Carboni and Nicolae Stanciu.
They, however, had to settle for a point in their league opener last weekend as they played out a goalless draw with Lecce. They struggled to create any noteworthy chances to get on the scoresheet and will be looking to put out a much better display this weekend.
Juventus, meanwhile, traded tackles with Parma in their opening game last Sunday and won 2-0. Jonathan David opened the scoring for the Old Lady at the hour mark to open his account for the club on his debut before Dusan Vlahovic came off the bench to seal the points.
The visitors sit third in the table with three points and will be looking to make it two wins from two on Sunday as they seek to improve on their fourth-place finish last season.

I Bianconeri were convincing in their win over Parma on opening day and will only need to avoid complacency to pick up another win on Sunday.
