Genoa have been installed as the weekend’s expected winners while both teams to score could be another avenue to explore at 21/20 (2.05). BTTS landed when the sides last met in October and there is a 48.8% chance of history repeating itself.
Hot tip – Draw
- Five of these teams’ last six meetings finished all square.
- Udinese have drawn more often (14 times) than any other team in Serie A this season.
Other tips
Genoa 1-1 Udinese
- Udinese have drawn 1-1 in six separate Serie A matches already this season.
- Genoa have been averaging 1.25 goals per home game in Serie A this term.
Under 2.5 Goals
- Four of the last five meetings between these clubs produced two or fewer goals.
- Under 2.5 goals landed in each of Udinese’s last four league fixtures.
Player to watch – Albert Gudmundsson
Udinese found it difficult to handle Albert Gudmundsson when they drew 2-2 with Genoa in November. The Icelandic forward scored both of Genoa’s goals on that occasion and he could threaten again on Saturday.
Gudmundsson to reach double figures
Albert Gudmundsson need just one more goal to reach double figures for the Serie A campaign for Genoa and the 26-year-old could be worth backing to hit that milestone on Saturday.
