While the Bianconeri are without Paulo Dybala, Mario Lemina and Andrea Barzagli, the hosts are missing Leonardo Pavoletti, Miguel Veloso and Lucas Orban.
“It’s a shame about Pavoletti, because we’ve never really had him this season apart from the first three games,” said the Coach in his Press conference.
“Veloso had been playing very well. Giovanni Simeone is working well and he’s a tough cookie, so I’m sure he’ll have a great performance.
“Juventus play with the kind of mentality that in Italy only Juve have. Even in moments of difficulty, they don’t get shaken. They have very clear ideas and objectives.
“The really surprising thing about them is that they can miss a player or change system and it looks as if they’ve been playing that way forever. They adapt to any situation.
“Against Juventus you need to play at the best of your abilities. They have so many different ways of finding the goal and we must face them with courage. If you go into it looking for a draw, you’re in trouble.”
Hernanes has been repeatedly linked with a January transfer to Genoa.
“At this moment I am concentrated on these games. In January we’ll see what happens.”
Genoa squad for Juventus: Perin, Lamanna, Zima; Gentiletti, Izzo, Burdisso, Biraschi, Muñoz, Fiamozzi; Edenilson, Cofie, Rigoni, Rincon, Laxalt, Ntcham; Simeone, Ninkovic, Ocampos, Gakpé, Lazovic, Pandev
