Juventus has the capable team to compete in both the European and Italian league, according to Tudor's assessment
Juventus are preparing for a challenging encounter against Genoa this weekend, with Igor Tudor anticipating a difficult match. The current manager of the Italian giants is confident that his team is well-equipped to handle the pressure of playing in both the Serie A and the Champions League this season.
Tudor's tenure at Juventus has been marked by success so far, as the team has avoided defeat in nine out of ten Serie A matches under his leadership (W6 D3). This impressive run includes an unbeaten streak against Genoa, with Juventus winning seven out of the last ten encounters (D2).
The Bianconeri began their season with a 2-0 win against Parma, with goals from Jonathan David and Dusan Vlahovic. David, who scored on his Serie A debut against Parma, is aiming to continue his fast start to life in Italy. Should he score against Genoa, he would join an exclusive club of players who have scored in both of their first two Serie A matches for Juventus since 1994-95, including the likes of Carlos Tevez and Randal Kolo Muani.
Juventus are currently on a five-game winning streak in Serie A at home, a feat not achieved since September to November 2023. The team has also not conceded a goal in their last three league matches against Genoa. Aaron Martin, a key player for Juventus, has created the most chances from set-pieces during the 2025 Serie A season.
As Juventus compete in the league phase of the Champions League, they will face formidable opponents such as Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, and Benfica. Tudor believes that his team is ready for this challenge and is confident that they can maintain their impressive form in the domestic league.
Genoa, on the other hand, could draw both of their first two Serie A games of the season for the third time in their history. Aaron Martin, a standout player for Genoa, has provided the most assists in Serie A in 2025.
Opta's win probability for this match favors Juventus (49.5%), with a 23.6% chance for Genoa and a 26.8% chance for a draw. With the positive mood in the Juventus camp, a clear team identity and mentality being developed, and the team's recent form, Tudor and his players will be hopeful of extending their unbeaten run against Genoa and starting the season with another victory.
