Genoa vs Udinese prediction: Will they cancel each other out?
Key stats
- Genoa have taken four points from their previous two home league games.
- Udinese are winless in three league matches, losing the last two.
- The previous five H2Hs have produced three draws.
Correct score prediction: Genoa 1-1 Udinese
Given their close proximity in the table and the fact that there have been three stalemates in the last five meetings, we can see this game ending in a draw. With only eight goals scored in total across those five H2Hs as well, we are also expecting a low-scoring affair.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Genoa slight favourites
- HOME: 6/4 (2.50) – 40.0%
- DRAW: 2/1 (3.00) – 33.3%
- AWAY: 2/1 (3.00) – 33.3%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
As shown by the implied probabilities, Genoa are slightly favoured to take home all three points. Interestingly, a draw and an Udinese victory are rated as having the same chance of happening.

Most recent H2Hs: Genoa on unbeaten run
Genoa are actually unbeaten in the previous five H2Hs, and have won the last two by a 2-0 scoreline, including in the reverse fixture earlier on in the 2024/25 campaign. The other three results have been draws, with two 0-0 stalemates, suggesting that we should not expect too many goals this time around.

Player to watch: Andrea Pinamonti
Andrea Pinamonti has only managed to score more goals against Roma (five) than Udinese (four) in his entire footballing career. The Italian striker found the back of the net in the reverse fixture earlier on this season, and remains Genoa's top scorer in Serie A with eight goals so far.
