In this article, we have given our Genoa vs Udinese prediction, odds & betting tips ahead of their clash in Serie A on Friday night. At the time of writing, the hosts are in 12th place on a total of 35 points from 30 games played, while the visitors are in 10th spot on 40 points after the same number of matches.

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.

The other three results have been draws, with two 0-0 stalemates, suggesting that we should not expect too many goals this time around.

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.
