Max Allegri’s Juventus are set to play host to 18th placed Genoa in a must-win Serie A encounter on Monday at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. The Italian giants are placed at the seventh spot, outside the European places, as the league nears the halfway stage of the ongoing season.
The Bianconeri were given a brief respite in their pursuit of a Champions League spot following their win over bottom-placed Salernitana in midweek. And, on Monday, they will look to emulate the same results by collecting all the points on display.
Genoa, on the other hand, are sitting in the relegation zone after managing just one win from their first 15 games and will be desperate to make an impact.
The Serie A match between Juventus and Genoa will kick off at 1:15 am (IST) on Sunday.
