JUVENTUS - GENOA 1 - 0 Carlos Tévez (25') Sunday, March 22nd, 2015 - 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Marco Di Bello Carlos Tevez Scores but Arturo Vidal Impressive Yet Again as Juventus Beat Genoa Mar 22, 2015 Following their hugely impressive Champions League outing in midweek, the Bianconeri returned to domestic action on Sunday with a 1-0 victory when they welcomed Genoa to Juventus Stadium. The Turin giants had turned in a remarkable performance against Borussia Dortmund but knew the visitors would present a stiff challenge. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men remain the only side to have beaten Juve in Serie A this term, and Massimiliano Allegri had spoken of the need to concentrate on this game rather than look ahead to their quarter-final clash with AS Monaco next month. “It’s also going to be tough because they’ve had a week to prepare for it, while we basically only have today,” the coach said at his pre-match press conference, per the club’s official website. “So we'll have to come up with a big performance,” he added, demanding that his players continued their impressive recent form. Indeed, since AS Roma scored in Rome earlier this month, Juventus had kept three consecutive clean sheets, recording league wins over Palermo and Sassuolo as well as that 3-0 victory at the Westfalenstadion. Allegri was correct once again as Genoa proved to be a resolute opponent, pressuring the home side in midfield and remaining compact in defence. Luckily for the Italian champions, they can count upon a number of top quality players to pierce such stubborn resistance, and it was no surprise which of them brought the deadlock to an end. There were just 25 minutes on the clock when a clever pass from Roberto Pereyra sent Carlos Tevez into the box, and the Argentinian striker unleashed a thunderous shot. Mattia Perin stood little chance of keeping it out, with the ball crashing off the crossbar and into the back of the net, handing Juventus a well-deserved opening goal. Genoa continued to provide stern resistance, but despite their best efforts, the Bianconeri proved to be simply too strong, with Arturo Vidal turning in the latest in a string of impressive displays. Having suffered a serious slump in form following knee surgery and the World Cup, the Chilean is slowly returning to somewhere near his best form. His effort with and without the ball was impressive on Sunday. Statistics from WhoScored.com show he made two tackles and three interceptions as he continually broke up Genoa’s attacking play. The same source shows that he added much to Juve’s own forward forays, completing 89.7 percent of his passes. Vidal has weighed in with six goals and two assists this term, and although he failed to get on the scoresheet on Sunday his contribution was no less valuable. His play was in-keeping with what has been a solid if unspectacular campaign in which WhoScored shows he has averaged an impressive three tackles, 1.4 interceptions and 0.8 clearances per game. A missed penalty from Tevez after a foul on Pereyra saw La Madama fail to double her lead early in the second half, with substitute goalkeeper Eugenio Lamanna making an impressive save from the spot. Vidal will now head off on international duty with Chile; the South American side are set to face Iran and Brazil in friendly action next week. The pause will also allow Juventus to recover Andrea Pirlo and Stefano Sturaro, the latter came on as a late substitute for Vidal with just three minutes left to play. His importance to the side cannot be understated, and like the rest of the team he appears to be hitting peak form at just the right time, with Juventus hoping to impress further still in the Champions League. As he has been since arriving in the summer of 2011, Vidal will be key to those hopes and he told Sky Italia he expects a tough clash against the Ligue 1 side. “No, no they are all difficult games,” the 27-year-old said (h/t Football Italia) and while that may well be true, they are much easier when Arturo Vidal plays at his best. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - GENOA 1 - 0 Carlos Tévez (25') Sunday, March 22nd, 2015 - 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Marco Di Bello Buffon: 'Juve success unthinkable' Mar 22, 2015 Gigi Buffon admits it was “frankly unthinkable” that Juventus would be doing so well this season under Max Allegri. The captain spoke to Sky Sport Italia after a 1-0 victory over Genoa, despite Carlos Tevez seeing a penalty saved. “Today the biggest effort was a psychological one, as to find more energy and focus to avoid losing concentration at every moment of the game was very difficult after the ‘hangover’ of the Champions League. “I am glad to see the desire to suffer to the limit is making the difference for this Juventus.” Juve now have a 17-point lead at the top of the table pending Roma’s trip to Cesena this evening. “I have always been a dreamer and an optimist, but to be honest I had a few doubts we could win the Scudetto again this season. The statistics were not on our side and Roma were on the ascendant. “To have such a lead and be in the Champions League quarter-finals at this stage was frankly unthinkable.” Many Juve fans did not welcome Allegri as the replacement for Antonio Conte, but he has won everyone over. “The real quality of this group and the club’s DNA is fighting hard. We had lost it for a while, but over the last three and a half years we have reconstructed that mentality and belief. “As for the Coach, I can only say he has been a very pleasant surprise and he made the most courageous choice a tactician could make. “To come to Juventus after three historic years, aware he had everything to lose and risk, then get these extraordinary results... you can only tip your hat to him.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - GENOA 1 - 0 Carlos Tévez (25') Sunday, March 22nd, 2015 - 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Marco Di Bello Player Ratings: Juventus 1-0 Genoa Mar 22, 2015 Juventus defeated Genoa 1-0 at the Juventus Stadium on Sunday afternoon in the Serie A. The hosts took the lead in spectacular fashion through Carlos Tevez, who also had a chance to double the lead from the penalty spot, but was denied by substitute goalkeeper Eugenio Lamanna. Juventus Gianluigi Buffon – 6.5 – Faultless - Hardly the easiest first half he’s had this season. Had to be alive to Niang’s early strike and dashed off his line to deny Lestienne. Untested in what was a comfortable second half. Andrea Barzagli – 6.5 – Calm - Relatively untroubled at the back but performed to his usual high standard, comfortable enough playing the ball back to his goalkeeper. Got rid of Roncaglia’s late cross to deny Perotti the chance to equalise. Leonardo Bonucci – 6 – Rough - Picked up a booking for a brief altercation with Borriello, but looked confident in performing his duties at the back. Adopted the tough approach taking no prisoners and ensuring Genoa had nothing to go with in attack. Giorgio Chiellini – 7 – Dominant - Uncompromising in his tackles and looked every bit the leader at the back, he was also a threat from corners and missed a chance to double their lead when his header hit the crossbar. Stephan Lichtsteiner – 6.5 – Assured - A real presence for the hosts in his defensive work rate, but also evident in the attacking third. Kept up the pressure on Genoa and ran his heart out for the win. Replaced late on by Pepe. Arturo Vidal – 6.5 – Unstoppable - Had a chance to test Perin early on, but his shot went high into the stands. Tough in the challenge and added an extra dimension in the attack. Replaced at the end by Sturaro. Claudio Marchisio – 6 – Average - Looked to be in trouble when the referee blew for his tackle on Perotti in the area, but the Argentinian was shown yellow for simulation. Helped move the ball around but generally had a quiet game. Roberto Pereyra – 6 – Pacy - Confident first touch and quick in moving the ball forward, was a source of concern with his speed. Won the Bianconeri the penalty when he tripped over Roncaglia’s outstretched leg in the area. Simone Padoin – 6 – Workhorse - Acted alongside Vidal to make up the engine room of the Juventus midfield, throwing his body into the mix to defend his lines. Full of running and added a great deal to the victory for his work rate. Fernando Llorente – 6 – Unlucky - Had plenty of joy in the first half in getting past the Genoa defenders, but couldn’t translate his possession in goals. Saw his late header on target clawed out of the air by Perin. Replaced by Matri. Carlos Tevez – 7.5 – Relentless - Dropped his shoulder to get past De Maio and blasted it past Perin who had no chance for his 16th Serie A goal of the season. Looked imperious going forward despite having his penalty saved by Lamanna. Substitutes Simone Pepe – 6 – Bright - Took the place of Lichsteiner as Allegri looked to keep the tempo of the match going with fresh legs. Presented an early opportunity for Matri to score that was not taken. Alessandro Matri – 6 – Respectful - Came on for Llorente to add a new dimension against the side he represented at the beginning of the season. Stefano Sturaro – N/A Genoa Mattia Perin – 6.5 – Blameless - Showed excellent awareness to deny Juventus an easy route to goal, but was unable to do anything about Tevez’s thunderous strike. Made a double save to deny Llorente scoring and then Chiellini on the follow up. Was eventually forced off with an injury. Facundo Roncaglia – 5.5 – Poor - Conceded the penalty for a trailing leg that caught Pereyra. Provided little else defensively and was restricted to defending for much of the game, managing to provide a telling cross late. Nicolas Burdisso – 6 – Polarizing - Proved something of a liability in the first half, taking far too much time on the ball. Avoided punishment for man-handling Tevez and generally looked uncomfortable. Looked more confident in the second half, urging calm from his players. Sebastian De Maio – 5.5 – Slow - Beaten by pace on Tevez’s opener with a desperate attempt at a block all he could manage. Overcame his early misgivings and acted with greater composure. Edenilson – 6 – Involved - Eager to push forward and provide assistance in attack. Made a vital interception to deny Llorente scoring in the second half. Tackled competently and did his bit in the midfield. Juraj Kucka – 6 – Engine - Appeared to struggle initially with marking Pereyra, but slowly worked his way into the game and tried desperately to provide some stability in front of the defence. Andrea Bertolacci – 5.5 – Disappointing - Booked very early in the game for a late sliding tackle on Vidal, then was beaten by Tevez’s drop of the shoulder that lead to the goal. Couldn’t muster much in the second period despite seeing a greater amount of the ball. Zakarya Bergdich – 5.5 – Quiet - Created early chances and made marauding runs into dangerous areas, but faded from attention and played a minor role in the majority of Genoa’s defending during the match. Diego Perotti – 6.5 – Dangerous - Booked for simulation after going down in the penalty area. Picked himself up thereafter and looked a real threat with his close control. Bugged the Juventus defenders for the entire match and rarely stepped off the gas. M’Baye Niang – 5.5 – Uneventful - Had an early chance to test Buffon, but his shot drifted just wide of goal. Faded into the background as he saw less and less of the ball. Had his game ended prematurely after being replaced by Borriello. Maxime Lestienne – 6 – Decent - Gifted an early opportunity when the ball fell kindly to him in the area, but couldn’t stretch in time to beat Buffon. Sent a teasing cross into the area, but Borriello wasn’t quick enough to react to the opportunity. Replaced by Laxalt after an hour. Substitutes Marco Borriello – 5.5 – Wild - Picked up a quick yellow card for an altercation with Bonucci and escaped a second for a barge on Chiellini. Poor performance against his former club. Eugenio Lamanna – 7 - Ready - Replaced the injured Perin and earned the praise of his fans instantly after saving a Tevez penalty before denying Llorente in front of goal. Diego Laxalt – N/A - Came on late on for Lestienne as the away side went in search of an equaliser but failed to make an impact on the match. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - GENOA 1 - 0 Carlos Tévez (25') Sunday, March 22nd, 2015 - 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Marco Di Bello Chiellini: 'Tevez is transformed' Mar 22, 2015 Giorgio Chiellini said Carlos Tevez is “transformed on match day” after Juventus saw off Genoa 1-0. “Our energy was running low after the last two to three weeks of very intense matches,” the defender told Sky Sport Italia. Tevez scored a stunning goal in the first half, then his penalty was parried by Eugenio Lamanna. “We knew we’d suffer against an intense Genoa side that presses you all over the field, but we didn’t concede much in the end. “Plus we have players of such quality in attack and Tevez again showed how decisive he is. He has been important since his first day, not just with words, but with his attitude on the pitch. “On match day he is transformed, working so hard not only going forward, but also helping out at the back. “Against Palermo and today we saw a Juve side that might not have been sparkling, but was tough and knew how to win.” Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci had quite a few clashes with Marco Borriello in the second half, their former Juventus teammate now back at Genoa. “We’re good friends and have known each other since the youth teams, but on the field our physicality is important and so it’s normal we will give each other a good hammering. I’m glad he’s back to playing regularly.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - GENOA 1 - 0 Carlos Tévez (25') Sunday, March 22nd, 2015 - 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Marco Di Bello Tevez decisive despite penalty A Carlos Tevez scorcher off the bar gave Juventus the 1-0 win over Genoa, though Apache also saw a penalty parried. Mar 22, 2015 The Grifone had only ever won this fixture twice in 1937 and 1991, since that Tomas Skuhravy goal managing just three draws and eight defeats. However, they were the only Serie A side to have beaten Juve this season, a Luca Antonelli goal at the 94th minute securing that October result. Alvaro Morata, Iago Falque and Tomas Rincon were suspended, joining the injured Paul Pogba, Andrea Pirlo, Martin Caceres, Paolo De Ceglie, Romulo and Lorenzo Ariaudo. M’Baye Niang curled wide after two minutes when Leonardo Bonucci gave away possession, while Fernando Llorente’s effort was charged down in the box. Andrea Bertolacci’s deflected shot turned into an assist for Maxime Lestienne, Gigi Buffon having to rush out and palm the ball off his feet during a period of Genoa pressure. Carlos Tevez is on stunning form and got his 16th Serie A goal of the season. He gathered outside the box, burst past a defender and smashed an unstoppable strike in off the underside of the bar from a tight angle. The ferocity of the shot made it impossible to reach. Diego Perotti and Bertolacci failed to trouble Buffon from distance, but Juve almost made it 2-0 before the break. A corner found Llorente’s header, beaten off the line by Mattia Perin, then Tevez’s attempt was charged down and Giorgio Chiellini fired the rebound on to the crossbar. Perin went off after the restart after suffering from a shoulder injury, making way for Eugenio Lamanna. Facundo Roncaglia gave away a penalty for a trip on Roberto Pereyra, although the ex-Udinese man left his leg trailing and appeared to look for the contact. Nonetheless, Lamanna came to the rescue and parried the Tevez penalty to his right. Incredibly, the 25-year-old goalkeeper had also saved a spot-kick from Roma’s Adem Ljajic and this was only his third appearance of the season. Moments later Juraj Kucka cleared off the line from Llorente, who had shaken off two challenges. Facundo Roncaglia whipped in a cross from the right and Andrea Barzagli was decisive to stop Perotti tapping in from six yards. Genoa pinned Juve back in the closing stages and Arturo Vidal went off injured. In stoppages Stefano Sturaro almost scored against his old club, but a Pereyra cross was just beyond him in front of the open goal. Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner (Pepe 72), Vidal (Sturaro 87), Marchisio, Pereyra, Padoin; Tevez, Llorente (Matri 72) Genoa: Perin (Lamanna 52); Roncaglia, Burdisso, De Maio; Edenilson, Kucka, Bertolacci, Bergdich; Perotti, Niang (Borriello 46), Lestienne (Laxalt 66) Ref: Di Bello Saved penalty: Tevez 62 (J) http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - GENOA 1 - 0 Carlos Tévez (25') Sunday, March 22nd, 2015 - 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Marco Di Bello Carlos Tevez strike sees Juventus to victory over Genoa Mar 22, 2015 Juventus strengthened their grasp on a fourth straight Serie A title thanks to a 1-0 win over Genoa which confirmed the Bianconeri are also able to juggle their league and European commitments. Carlos Tevez scored the only goal of the game to secure a 20th win of the season in 28 Serie A fixtures for Massimiliano Allegri's men. Their advantage at the top of the table is now such that they can plan on wrapping the title up even before the semifinal stage of the Champions League, which they will hope to be involved in by beating Monaco in the quarterfinals. Allegri made just a few changes to the side which had defeated Borussia Dortmund in midweek, giving Simone Padoin and Fernando Llorente a start while taking a closer look at a three-man defence including Andrea Barzagli. Any thoughts the Bianconeri might be tired or not focused after Wednesday's thrilling win in Germany were soon dismissed as they attacked like in any other game. They took the lead in the 25th minute when Tevez showed his fine goal past Roman Weidenfeller on Wednesday was no fluke with a similarly stunning strike which hit the underside of the crossbar on its way past Mattia Perin. The crossbar was struck again on the stroke of half-time with the ball this time rebounding to safety from Giorgio Chiellini's effort after Perin had made a save from Llorente. Juve had the chance to double their lead on the hour mark when they were awarded a penalty for a foul by Facundo Roncaglia on Roberto Pereyra. Eugenio Lamanna, who had taken the place of the injured Perin only moments earlier, guessed right to deny Tevez, making already his second penalty save in only his third Serie A appearance. Allegri then started to make changes, giving Llorente, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Arturo Vidal a break without his side showing any sign of weakness. They had no problems holding on to a win which brings a fourth straight Scudetto that little bit closer to Turin. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - GENOA 1 - 0 Carlos Tévez (25') Sunday, March 22nd, 2015 - 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Marco Di Bello Juventus 1-0 Genoa: Tevez Blast Extends The Bianconeri Lead Mar 22, 2015 Juventus defeated Genoa 1-0 at the Juventus Stadium on Sunday afternoon in the Serie A. The game was decided in the first half when centre-forward Carlos Tevez produced a brilliant run and an even better finish to take his tally of goals in Serie A this season to 16. The Argentinean could have had a brace, in fact, as he missed a penalty in the second half. It was the Rossoblu who were presented with the first opportunity of the match in the second minute as centre-forward M’baye Niang latched onto a loose ball from defender Leonardo Bonucci but curled his shot wide of the goal. The home side, after their European exertion at Dortmund in midweek, looked a bit tired every now and then and on had their first attempt on 11 minutes through Chilean Arturo Vidal whose ambitious volley went way off target. A few minutes later, they looked to threaten from a set piece as centre-back Giorgio Chiellini headed over the bar. Meanwhile, Genoa’s Diego Perotti was booked for diving following an incident that saw him appeal for a penalty after having been allegedly fouled by Claudio Marchisio inside the box. And despite some early failings, the Old Lady took the lead in the 25th minute, that saw Argentinean Carlos Tevez beat a couple of defenders on the right flank before unleashing a fierce drive from a tight angle into the top of the net. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men were pushed on the back foot momentarily and Juventus full-back Stephan Lichtsteiner then tried his luck on the half volley, sending it over the cross bar. However, the Grifone did get a couple of chances before the break. Perotti side footed a weak shot that was comfortably dealt with by Gianlugi Buffon and 22-year-old Maxime Lestienne then tried his luck from over 30 yards. And right at the stroke of half-time, drama unfolded as Fernando Llorente’s header was saved by Genoa goalkeeper Mattia Perin and the rebound was sent towards goal by Tevez, only for it to deflect off Andrea Bertolacci’s extending arm and find Chiellini’s feet, who managed to rattle the crossbar. The second half began with Perin being subbed off early on, on account of the injury he suffered at half-time. Then following some good build-up play, Roberto Pereyra fluffed a left-footed volley towards the stands. 24-year-old Pereyra was yet again involved in the mix of things as he was fouled inside the box by Rossoblu defender Facundo Roncaglia, leading to a penalty at the hour mark. However, substitute goalkeeper Eugenio Lamanna stunned the entire Juventus Stadium as he saved the subsequent penalty from Tevez, denying his second goal of the day. Still wanting that crucial second goal, Tevez played his centre-forward partner Llorente through on goal, but the Spaniard’s effort was blocked by Juraj Kucka. With 15 minutes remaining, Juventus substitute Alessandro Matri got his chance to put the game to bed, but his header was sent straight to goalkeeper Lamanna. Five minutes later, Bianconeri defender Andrea Barzagli pulled off a brilliant last ditch tackle on 26-year-old Perotti, who was a regular tap-in away from scoring the equalizer following an excellent cross from Roncaglia. Genoa could not create any more chances after that and the game ended with Juventus finishing off on a high note, dominating possession and looking threatening as ever. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - GENOA 1 - 0 Carlos Tévez (25') Sunday, March 22nd, 2015 - 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Marco Di Bello Juventus 1-0 Genoa: Tevez edges Bianconeri towards Serie A title The striker scored the only goal of the game and missed a second half penalty as Massimiliano Allegri's side recorded a narrow win on Sunday. Mar 22, 2015 Carlos Tevez was the hero as his first half strike helped Juventus see off Genoa 1-0 on Sunday. The Argentine, who notched a double to help dump Borussia Dortmund out of the Champions League in midweek, lit up the contest with a brilliant solo goal after 25 minutes. It was not a flawless performance from the former Manchester City man, who saw a second-half penalty saved, but a third consecutive league win and a 17-point lead at the summit rarely appeared to be in doubt. Roma, currently on a dismal run of form in second place, can close that substantial gap when they face Cesena on Sunday. A slack pass from Leonardo Bonucci presented Niang with the opportunity to give Genoa a second-minute lead, but the forward curled narrowly wide from 20 yards. Neither defence looked particularly assured during the opening exchanges and Facundo Roncaglia made a last-ditch block to deny Juventus striker Fernando Llorente. Genoa felt they should have had a penalty in the 14th minute, but Diego Perotti was booked for simulation following a challenge from Claudio Marchisio. Juventus continued to struggle for fluency but a moment of magic from Tevez put them ahead. The Argentina forward slipped past a pair of defenders on a typically bustling run before firing home an angled shot via the underside of the crossbar for his 16th Serie goal of the season. The visitors' early verve disappeared and it was almost 2-0 on the stroke of half-time as Giorgio Chiellini struck the crossbar when Genoa failed to fully clear a corner. Mattia Perin was injured in the build-up to the Chiellini chance and was replaced by understudy Eugenio Lamanna soon after. And, as he did after emerging from the bench against Roma in December, Lamanna thwarted the opposition from the penalty spot. Roncaglia was penalised for a trip on Roberto Pereyra but Tevez failed to convert his 62nd minute spot kick as the keeper produced a diving save to keep his side in the game. Genoa's best chance for a leveller came 10 minutes from time, as Andrea Barzagli cleared brilliantly to deny Perotti at the far post, but they could not find a way through, with Juventus continuing their march towards the title. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Marotta: 'Juve win without Pogba' Mar 22, 2015 Beppe Marotta pointed out Juventus beat Borussia Dortmund “without Paul Pogba,” but denied negotiations. The transfer guru spoke to Sky Sport Italia ahead of the Serie A meeting with Genoa. “We had a specific objective when starting a new era with President Andrea Agnelli, which was to put Juventus back where they belonged, at the top of European football,” said Marotta. “From season to season we climbed the positions. Being in the Champions League quarter-final is a reward for the maturity and professionalism of all involved.” Pogba limped off during the opening minutes of their 3-0 win at Borussia Dortmund and will be out of action for seven weeks. Marotta was asked whether reaching the semi-final would convince the 22-year-old Frenchman to stay. “We are here celebrating a victory achieved by a team, a team that played without Pogba,” he noted. “This means football is a team sport and not just about individuals. The value of individual players is important, but the attitude of the group and club are decisive. “We’ve already discussed Pogba’s future many times. He exploded on to the scene rapidly, we want to win and do not necessarily have to sell our young champions. That’s it. “Clearly a young player of such quality is going to attract interest from more prestigious clubs than us at this moment, but we are not looking for buyers. We have had no talks. “The more champions you have in your squad, the more likely you are to win, but there are other important components too. “We try to unite the two elements, giving the group a winning mentality and also taking advantage of market opportunities. “We continue our objective of improving, as we have done over the years. The squad must be competitive, made up of champions and players who might be less prestigious, but are just as important.”

JUVENTUS - GENOA .- Sunday, March 22nd, 2015 - 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium, Turin Referee: Marco Di Bello Line-ups: Juventus-Genoa Mar 22, 2015 Juventus aim to further extend their 14-point lead, but host the only team that beat them in Serie A this season – Genoa. It kicks off at 15.00 CET. Back in October, Luca Antonini struck at the 94th minute to give Genoa victory at Marassi. Alvaro Morata is suspended, while Paul Pogba has been ruled out for 50 days by a thigh injury he sustained during the 3-0 Champions League victory over Borussia Dortmund. Also absent are Andrea Pirlo, Martin Caceres, Kwadwo Asamoah, Paolo De Ceglie and Romulo. Max Allegri switches back to the 3-5-2 system, mirroring Genoa’s 3-4-3 approach. Carlos Tevez is Capocannoniere and fresh from his brace in Germany, here partnered by Fernando Llorente, while Claudio Marchisio has shaken off flu symptoms. Alessandro Matri can expect to come off the bench and face the club he left in January. Genoa suffered a surprise 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Chievo last week, so are determined to get back on track. Iago Falque and Tomas Rincon sit out bans, while Lorenzo Ariaudo is injured, but Tino Costa returns from a lengthy injury lay-off. Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Marchisio, Pereyra, Padoin; Tevez, Llorente Juventus bench: Storari, Rubinho, Ogbonna, Evra, Sturaro, Pepe, Vitale, Coman, Matri Genoa: Perin; Roncaglia, Burdisso, De Maio; Edenilson, Kucka, Bertolacci, Bergdich; Perotti, Niang, Lestienne Genoa bench: Lamanna, Sommariva, Borriello, Mandragora, Tambe, Marchese, Tino Costa, Laxalt, Pavoletti, Izzo http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111
