Juventus will be high on confidence after their win in Barcelona on Tuesday

After a great win in Barcelona in midweek helped them top their UEFA Champions League group, Juventus are back in Serie A action on Sunday when they travel to Genoa.

Juve are still unbeaten in Serie A, but have drawn five of their first 10 matches, which has left them six points behind league leaders AC Milan.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice at the Camp Nou in midweek, with Weston McKennie scoring the other goal.

Juventus also got themselves a win in Serie A last week, after a late comeback against their city rivals Torino.

Nicolas Nkoulou gave Torino the lead in that game, but McKennie scored the equaliser in the 77th minute before Leonardo Bonucci scored an 89th-minute winner.

Genoa have had a faltering campaign so far, as they find themselves in 19th position after 10 Serie A games this season. They have only managed a solitary win, and six points all season.

Last week, they drew 1-1 against Fiorentina in a match filled with late drama. Genoa had taken the lead in the 89th minute through Marko Pjaca before Nikola Milenkovic scored the equalizer for the Viola eight minutes into injury time to deny Genoa two more points.
