The Turin giants made an unfortunate managerial gamble on Thiago Motta at the start of last season. Fortunately, Tudor, who replaced him, managed to secure at least fourth place. However, his success ended there. Spalletti fared better, but February turned out to be disastrous, with defeats to Atalanta in the cup and Galatasaray in the Champions League. Even in Serie A, Como is unexpectedly challenging the usual favorites for a top-four spot. Juventus also dropped points against Sassuolo in the previous round, finishing 1-1.
The Genoa side also went through a coaching change in 2024/2025, which paid off—Vieira lifted the team to a final 13th position. He too was dismissed in the autumn after a string of poor results. Under De Rossi, Genoa picked up momentum, and even after securing their top-flight status in March, continued to win. But not against Udinese—the month ended with a 0-2 loss.
Juventus averages 1.73 goals per match scored, while conceding 0.97 per game. Messias and company at Genoa, with 1.2 goals scored, concede slightly more—1.40.
