MATCH DETAILS
Genoa v. Juventus
March 17, 2019
Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, Genoa
MATCH PREVIEW
Genoa will host champions Juventus in match day 28 of Serie A on Sunday. After Juventus' recent heroic performance in the Champions League, which has produced one of the best performances of the season against Atletico Madrid, they are now back to their domestic league in excellent form, winning each of their last five matches, making it 24 wins in 27 games. However, manager Massimiliano Allegri can think-tank on rotating his players here, but he cannot afford to take teams like Genoa lightly because they have provided some tough competition in their last few matches.
On the other hand this match will be critical for Genoa, who are 13th in the table after winning 30 points from 27 matches, as they are just nine points removed from relegation and still have matches against Inter Milan and Napoli coming up. It will be intersecting to see if Genoa can hand Juve their first away defeat this season. However, Genoa are likely to struggle in this clash, with Juve scoring nine goals in their last three matches, while Genoa failed to find the net in their last three.
PREDICTED LINEUPS
Genoa: Andrei Radu (gk), Pedro Pereira, Cristian Romero, Ervin Zukanovic, Domenico Criscito, Lukas Lerager, Ivan Radovanovic, Daniel Bessa, Darko Lazovic, Antonio Sanabria, Christian Kouame
Juventus: Wojciech Szczesny (gk), Joao Cancelo, Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini, Alex

COMBINED XI
PLAYERS RECOMMENDATIONS
Defender: Joao Cancelo (8.5 credits): Cancelo has been an outstanding right-back for Juve by notching a goal and two assists in 15 matches this season, and he remains a solid contributor thanks to his 1.5 key passes per game.
Midfielder: Paulo Dybala (9.5 credits): The Argentinian international has had an impressive season so far, even if he only has four goals and four assists. However, he is always active in the attack, averaging 2.0 key passes per game, and he could be the x-factor to register a win over Genoa.
Forward: Cristiano Ronaldo (11.5 credits): Ronaldo is the second leading goal-scorer of the league with 19 goals in 26 matches while also adding eight assists. He who scored a hat trick against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League earlier this week, and with averages of 2.5 shots on target and 1.7 key passes per match, he could be a star again Sunday.
Captain: Cristiano Ronaldo
Vice-captain: Paulo Dybala
