Genoa coach Gian Piero Gasperini is reluctant to compare goalkeeper Mattia Perin with Juventus No1 Gigi Buffon.
Tonight's game will mark Buffon's 500th appearance.
"I don't want to make comparisons. Perin is a very strong player and I don't know if he will go on to match Buffon," Gasperini said.
"I am happy that Buffon is making his 500th appearance against Genoa. I am also happy that after initial difficulties Perin is now a real protagonist in Serie A.
"It's stimulating for anyone to play against Juve, Roma or Milan, as these are special games. They are opportunities that, if they go well, can become turning points for confidence."
