There is no winter break in Italy, so the Serie A can continue. Juventus is still unbeaten since the bitter 2-4 defeat against Sassuolo in September. Juventus benefits massively from the lack of involvement in the European competitions this season. This could make the difference against Inter in the long-distance plan for the Scudetto. As a result, the legs are fresher than those of other title contenders participating in international business at this late point in the year. Genoa certainly have some real top-class players at the start of the season. But with just one point from the last three games, things have clearly gotten in the way. The hosts conceded 9 of their 20 Serie A goals this season after the final quarter of an hour. The Bianconeri have always conceded a goal in their last six competitive games when visiting Genoa.
