The race for fourth place and that Champions League qualification could go down to the wire, but with Roma beaten 5-2 by Inter on Sunday, the pressure is on for Juve to keep up with Como.
They slipped behind going into the break for international duty with a 1-1 draw against Sassuolo.
In a rare situation, Luciano Spalletti has a full squad to choose from, although Dusan Vlahovic and Arek Milik are only fit for a spot on the bench initially.
Jonathan David and Lois Openda have been flops this season, but the Canadian is given another chance as the centre-forward, flanked by Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao, with Weston McKennie uniting midfield and attack.
Mattia Perin gets to face his old club in goal, preferred to Michele Di Gregorio.

What happened
The official teams are out for Juventus vs Genoa in Serie A, with Juventus starting Perin in goal and an attacking trio built around Jonathan David, Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao. Dusan Vlahovic and Arek Milik are only fit enough for the bench, despite Juventus otherwise having a full squad available. Genoa start Junior Messias behind Vitinha and Lorenzo Colombo, while Brooke Norton-Cuffy misses out through injury along with Maxwel Cornet and Benjamin Siegrist. The match carries added importance for Juventus in the race for Champions League qualification.
Chance analysis
Confirmed line-ups are highly relevant because they remove uncertainty around selection and attacking roles before kickoff. Juventus' choice to start David and Yildiz, with Vlahovic only on the bench, slightly reshapes their attacking expectation, while Genoa's absences reduce depth and flexibility. For football models, this is primarily a pre-match lineup signal rather than a longer-term team-strength update.
The main effect is a clearer pre-match read on Juventus' attacking setup and a slightly weaker Genoa squad due to absences.
Use the confirmed elevens to update pre-match player availability, attacking usage, and bench-strength assumptions immediately.
