Serie A: Juventus vs. Genoa – Probable Line-ups and Broadcast Information
Juventus is set to host Genoa on Easter Monday, with the Bianconeri aiming to narrow the gap to the Serie A top four. Dusan Vlahovic is anticipated to feature in the squad, though a starting position for him is improbable.
With just eight league matches remaining, Juventus currently sits three points behind fourth-placed Como. Their league standing received a boost after sixth-placed Roma suffered a 5-2 defeat against Inter on Sunday, ensuring that Juventus cannot be overtaken today.
Visitors Genoa arrive at the match in 14th position. An unlikely victory against Juventus could see them climb to 12th in the Serie A table, whereas a draw or a defeat would keep them in their current 14th spot.
Juventus boasts a largely healthy squad for Sunday's encounter at the Allianz Stadium.
Although available, Dusan Vlahovic is unlikely to start as he continues his recovery towards full fitness following a recent lengthy injury layoff. Manager Massimiliano Allegri confirmed Vlahovic's availability in his pre-match briefing, noting that the striker "could offer assistance" during the match.
Mattia Perin is expected to retain his place in goal ahead of Michele Di Gregorio. Apart from a slight uncertainty regarding whether Jonathan David or Jeremie Boga will lead the attack, Juventus is predicted to field a starting XI largely similar to the one that played against Sassuolo before the break.
For Genoa, Brooke Norton-Cuffy is sidelined due to a hamstring injury and is likely to be replaced by either Stefano Sabelli or Aaron Martin.
Furthermore, Genoa's coach faces a selection dilemma upfront, with Vitinha, Junior Messias, Tommaso Baldanzi, and Caleb Ekuban all competing for a spot in the starting lineup.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 17:00 BST.
Probable Line-ups
Juventus (4-2-3-1): Perin; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, McKennie, Yildiz; David.
Genoa (3-4-2-1): Bijlow; Marcandalli, Ostigard, Vasquez; Ellertson, Frendrup, Malinovskyi, Sabelli; Messias, Vitinha; Colombo.
Where to Watch Juventus vs. Genoa
The game will be exclusively broadcast live on DAZN for viewers in the UK, while fans in the USA can tune in via Paramount+.
