Juventus vs. Genoa match preview: Time, TV schedule, and how to watch the Serie A

The last stretch of the 2025-26 season is formally upon us, my associates.

And similar to final season, Juventus’ Champions League qualification hopes to hold on simply how many factors they’ll choose over the course of those last eight video games. And in even a extra excessive case when put next to final season, Juventus will want a complete lot of assist to bounce over fourth-place Como and then doubtlessly keep there to guarantee they qualify for the Champions League.

Well, after a world break by which Italy has had about as little happiness as your grumpiest household relative — and then some! — now we return to the recurrently scheduled last stretch of the season.

The catch? Because of it being Easter Sunday, we’ve to wait a day longer than you most likely initially thought when the worldwide break started for Juventus to begin what hopefully turns of their last push to end in the prime 4.

They will try this on Monday night at the Allianz in opposition to a membership in Genoa who’re in an attention-grabbing place in the Serie A desk. Not a lot as they entered the weekend sitting in thirteenth, however extra to do with the undeniable fact that they’re six factors above the relegation zone — which means they’re nearly definitely just a few factors away from securing security but additionally just a few dangerous ends in a row for doubtlessly having to sweat out the last month of the season. That means you do not essentially have a crew that’s simply enjoying out the string as a result of they’re a provincial aspect that’s comfortably mid-table but additionally not utterly secure simply but.

Plus, if it wasn’t for Genoa supervisor Daniele De Rossi getting an enormous win over his former membership Roma only a few quick weeks in the past, this might have been a fixture by which Juventus might need been in sixth place and having Champions League qualification hopes trying even grimmer than they may seem now.

Yes, the similar De Rossi that Juve supervisor Luciano Spalletti known as “one of my footballing sons” throughout his pr-match press convention on Saturday.

Spalletti and Juventus will know that Roma bought pummeled at San Siro in opposition to league leaders Inter Milan and what Como’s lead to the uncommon Monday lunchtime kickoff prior to taking the area in Turin. They may very effectively get some assist from Udinese in opposition to a streaking aspect, however most vital Spalletti’s squad is dealing with their very own enterprise in the occasion of getting the much-needed assist that has to happen sooner or later over these subsequent eight weeks for the Bianconeri to bounce again into the prime 4.

At this level, it is exhausting to know if it should really occur.

But what we do know is that Juventus have to make the most of their remaining video games in opposition to provincial sides like Genoa as a result of the schedule the remainder of the means is not going to be so type. The subsequent three video games after dealing with Genoa are all in opposition to groups which might be very a lot able to beating Juventus.

If we see the similar type of Juventus that confirmed up and struggled mightily of their draw with Sassuolo prior to the worldwide break, then it is going to be robust sledding for Spalletti’s squad on Monday. And if that is the case, then the extremely robust job of making an attempt to get again into the prime 4 at this stage of the season will develop into even higher of a hill to climb.

We can most likely all do the math in our head when it comes to the potential mixtures of outcomes when it comes to Monday’s video games. Juventus may doubtlessly be one level behind Como at the finish of the day. They is also a miserable seven factors behind in the event that they lay an absolute doubt in opposition to Genoa. That is why Juve’s room for error when it comes to chasing Como down is mainly gone in complete. They want to win as a lot of their last eight video games as attainable and hope that the most in-form Serie A crew at present has by some means slows down.

The last stretch for Juventus begins on Monday.

No higher means to put the very, very dangerous developments over the worldwide break in the rear and strive and lock again in at the membership degree than with a worthwhile three factors it doesn’t matter what finally ends up taking place at the Friulu earlier in the day.

There’s been a ton of concentrate on Juve’s assault when it comes to the Bianconeri’s last eight video games of the season — and for good motive contemplating how up and down manufacturing has been exterior of Yildiz.

But simply as vital is Juventus’ protection getting proper down the stretch. And when it comes to that protection, it is fairly clear who they want to begin to flip a nook once more and appear like their previous self if they need any likelihood to be a way more stable unit at the again.

Yes, it isn’t breaking information that Juventus wants Gleison Bremer to be extra like the participant we have identified him to be prior to the previous few months. If Bremer shouldn’t be the Bremer of previous, then Juventus’ protection is simply not anyplace shut to being even a stable unit as in contrast to when he is enjoying like the participant he was prior to both of his knee accidents over the final 18 months.

The drawback has been, seeing that participant since the pre-injury days has been hit and miss. And particularly recently, it has been extra miss than anything, with a superb variety of the objectives that Juventus have allowed seeing Bremer play a fairly massive position in them taking place.

Juventus are solely six objectives allowed away from matching final season’s complete. Considering that quantity was in the mid-30s, that is nothing to precisely be comfortable about. Yet if Juventus proceed to not file clear sheets over these last eight video games, then they’re doubtless to both match that and even surpass it, and because of this having a objectives allowed complete shut to 40 being one thing that simply speaks to how inconsistent this crew has been.

This is the place Bremer is available in.

Not exhausting to determine it out, proper? If we see the Bremer of the final month or two proceed to be round, then it is going to be robust for Juventus to win video games — even in opposition to the provincial sides like Genoa. But perhaps, simply perhaps, a world break by which Bremer has been again with the Brazilian nationwide crew for the first time in a very long time — and scored a aim whereas carrying that stunning new Jordan Brand equipment — might be the factor that begins to flip issues again in a optimistic path.

It’s secure to say that Juve desperately want it if they need Champions League soccer subsequent season. And to simply ensure that Bremer is 100% a Juve player next seasontoo.
