On Sunday afternoon, the only "Serie A" team that managed to beat the multiple champions of Italy will take to the field at the "Juventus Stadium." Last October, in the Italian port city, the owners of the field dramatically won the match in the last minute.
The "Genoa" club, which has become a discovery of the Apennine Peninsula this season, had climbed to fifth place in the "Serie A" table before the winter break, but after losing their attacking leader Alessandro Matri in January 2015, the "Grifoni" began to fall and currently occupy 8th place.
At 16:00 Lithuanian time, "Juventus" and "Genoa" will clash in Turin for the 47th time in the history of the Italian championship.
Interesting facts:
- In January of this year, "Juventus" borrowed forward Alessandro Matri from "Genoa" until the end of the season, who had scored 7 goals and made 5 assists before the winter break.
