Genoa CFC vs Juventus FC
Serie A week #3
Sunday: 16-Sep-'12
Stadio Luigi Ferraris (Marassi) @ 13:00 (GMT)
Marassi, not the best venue for Juve:-
Since the 2006-07 season, the Stadio Luigi Ferraris (Marassi) hasn't been so kind to Juve (when playing against Genoa in Serie A). Also, Genoa CFC didn't lose to Juve last season; whether in Torino or Genova. But, let's keep in mind that Genoa CFC sold Palacio, Veloso, and Constant in the summer; this means Juve has a big chance in upsetting "Il Grifone".
Borriello, Immobile, and Vargas... A handfull for the Bianconeri:-
The first two players know Juve in some way, because they had a spell with the Italian giants. But can they come back an haunt Juve? Not THIS Juve! They'll be a threat, but threats don't always win. Because Juve is STRONG!!!
Conte, "con te" or without you... Juve is fearsome:-
The Bianconeri, 28 league titles... Last season they won the league unbeaten. This is all thanks to Antonio Conte, a legend as a player, and definitely he'll become a coaching legend. But, the charismatic coach is side-lined for the rest of the season; will it affect Juve negatively? No!
The "distracting" Champions League... Chelsea on Wednesday:-
Whoa! Didn't see that coming. In my opinion, Juve won't give much attention to the Chelsea game until they defeat Genoa. Although it's a bit distracting to some Juve faithful, but the players' mentality is bigger than getting distracted.
Prediction:-
Easy win for the Bianconeri, they have a great squad and they'll have the determination to continue their unbeaten streak in the Serie A.
Genoa CFC 0-3 Juventus FC
