2010-02-14 - Juventus vs Genoa
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Juventus are in crisis and thy must get a win here at all cost when they welcome the visit of Genoa for this clash at the Stadio Olimpico.
Juventus have failed to win even though they have appointed Alberto Zaccheroni as coach and the draw against Livorno was seen as another poor result. The positive thing is that they are just three points away from a Champions League spot.
Their opponents Genoa have had a good run recently and collected three important points against Chievo last weekend. The visitors are also dreaming of the Champions League, but more realistically they would settle for a Europa League placement.
Gian Piero Gasperini have gone on record to state that he is very happy with the 35 points they have amassed to date. Against Chievo it was a hard fought game so getting all three points did their confidence a world of good.
As for the team formation of Juventus, Zaccheroni is likely to stick to the 3-4-1-2 strategy used against Livorno. However, he will make a few adjustments to the starting formation. Fabio Cannavaro and Fabio Grosso will sit on the bench due to their form. Zdenek Grygera and Paolo De Ceglie will start this match instead. Felipe Melo is suspended but Momo Sissoko is back in the middle of midfield.
As for Genoa, Gasperini has lost Rodrigo Palacio to injury so he will not feature. Despite minor knocks and bruises, Raffaele Palladino and Giuseppe Sculli will play in this match. Robert Acquafresca has flu but will start since David Suazo is struggling for match fitness. Emiliano Moretti is suspended for this tie.
Take Juventus to get the much needed win here.
Cheers and good luck,
