Series A, Sunday, 17.03.2024
A Juventus Genoa betting tip, together with a recommendation for a lucrative sports betting bonus, was of course a must this Sunday! Especially as I have an extremely good feeling about my soccer bet.
The promoted team will once again sell themselves dearly and, despite back-to-back defeats in the league, will demand everything from Juve. Yes, even another 1-1 draw between the two teams wouldn’t shock me at all!
I can already tell you this much: The Intertops free bet deserves top marks, and Juventus can be extremely happy if they somehow manage to wrestle down the stubborn “Grifoni” on Sunday.
Genoa FC is not just an ordinary promoted team, but one that has come to stay – and has done so for years. Even if some shooting stars like the Icelander Albert Gudmundsson will undoubtedly soon be drawn to more prestigious clubs.
Let the following fact melt in your mouth: Since matchday 2, Atalanta Bergamo are the only Serie A club to have inflicted a defeat on the Ligurians that consisted of more than just a one-goal difference (!).
The Genoese have suffered back-to-back defeats in Serie A for the first time in six months, but there was plenty of bad luck involved against both Monza (2-3) and Inter (1-2) before that.
I therefore emphasize once again: Juve will be lucky if they continue their strong run of 19 consecutive Serie A home games without defeat against the Ligurians on Sunday (15 wins, 4 draws).
Especially as a very bitter “soccer spring” has begun for the Old Lady. Only six points have been collected from their last seven appearances since matchday 22 – only four clubs have added fewer points to their respective accounts in this period
I’ve had my fingers burnt by some of Genoa’s performances against top teams this season, so I’d advise you not to underestimate the visiting team.
The Juve win odds have been set at just 1.54 even by top-class providers such as Oddset, but if you accept this offer, it’s probably better to do so without an additional handicap.
The Grifoni have already survived the last two Serie A duels against Juventus without defeat and could easily celebrate three useful results in a row against the Turin side for the first time since 1991.
I therefore categorically rule out a 2-0, 3-0, 3-1 or even higher victory for the Bianconeri at this point
Looking at how close this game could be, I’d probably turn my back on a Juve win bet completely and go for a double chance X2 bet instead.
Especially as the payout in this case would also be significantly higher with a win factor of 2.57.
Incidentally, Dusan Vlahovic will return on Sunday after serving his yellow card in the 2-2 draw against Atalanta Bergamo
With 15 goals after just 24 Serie A appearances in 2023/24, Vlahovic is an important part of this team, but sports betting fans should not expect miracles from the Serbian.
After all, in the 1-1 first-round draw against the Ligurians, the promoted side’s backline managed to keep the superstar out of the game for long stretches of the match.
I’m therefore sticking to my guns: these “Grifoni” could once again deny the currently weakening favorites points.
Because the Icelander is at least as dangerous and, with a goal rate of around 5.60 compared to the Serb, also scores around three times as many goals.
The 26-year-old already scored a few months ago in the 1-1 draw against Juve, as well as on the last matchday against Monza.
Counter-attacking soccer suits the Grifoni – and that’s exactly why I trust the nimble attacking player from Iceland.
Juve will in all likelihood have to make the game again and open up spaces for their fast counter-attacks
Conclusion: In my Juventus Genoa prediction, I want to give you a real winning tip at all costs and therefore reduce the risk even further by ultimately opting for a bet of the type Tip 2 with HC +2.
But anyone who can read between the lines knows that a double chance X2 may be the better decision in what is likely to be another close game.
Furthermore, Vlahovic was already successfully taken out of the game in the first-round duel, and in Albert Gudmundsson, the Ligurians themselves have another excellent candidate for a possible goal bet…
My tip: Tip 2 with HC +2
