Genoa vs Udinese Prediction 20 March 2026
📢 What can we expect from the clash between Genoa and Udinese in the 30th round of Serie A at the "Luigi Ferraris"? Both teams are comfortably positioned in mid-table and have nearly secured their spots in Italy's top flight for next season. However, this doesn't mean they will lack motivation on the field-each side will be eager to achieve their specific goals.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Genoa and Udinese in recent years has been fairly balanced: out of 35 matches, the hosts have secured 13 victories, 12 encounters ended in a draw, and Udinese emerged victorious 10 times. In the first round of the current season, the Griffins managed to defeat their opponents away with a 2-1 scoreline, extending their winning streak in these matchups to four games.
Head-to-head statistics Genoa - Udinese
Genoa Team Overview
🔴 Genoa are among the top teams in Serie A for points accumulated over the last five rounds, collecting 10 points during this stretch. Only Como (13) and Bologna (12) have better records. Last weekend, the team secured a comfortable away victory against Verona (2-0), adding another three points, although the match itself lacked excitement.
🔵 In the league standings, Genoa sit in 13th place with 33 points. Thanks to their recent performances, their cushion above the relegation zone has expanded to 9 points, allowing them to feel much more secure. It's worth noting that the team had a rough start to the season and only managed to climb out of their crisis after a change in head coach.

Udinese Calcio Team Overview
⚪ Udinese are unlikely to be pleased with their recent performances, unlike Genoa. Over their last six matches, the team has suffered four defeats and secured just one victory-a 3-0 win over Fiorentina, who are having a particularly poor season. Last weekend, the "Little Zebras" failed to take any points at home against Juventus (0-1). The narrow loss doesn't reflect the true nature of the match, as the Turin side dominated from start to finish, generating 2.73 xG. However, they were let down by their finishing and the brilliant goalkeeping of Maduka Okoye.
⚫ Despite this challenging stretch, Udinese remain mid-table with 36 points. Their cushion above the relegation zone is a comfortable 12 points. This is quite surprising given that the "Little Zebras" have been inconsistent throughout the season, mixing promising spells with outright poor performances.

Latest news
Genoa
📣 After their 2-0 victory over Verona, Genoa's head coach Daniele De Rossi remarked, "It feels like I've been here forever - we celebrate and suffer together as a team. This squad deserves to feel euphoria, but we must not think we've already secured our place in the league."
🚫 The team faces minimal squad issues: Jean Onana is doubtful due to a thigh injury.
Udinese Calcio
📣 After a 1-0 defeat to Juventus, Udinese head coach Kosta Runjaic remarked: "Juventus are a very strong team with world-class players like Yildiz and Conceicao. Right now, we can't compete with them on equal terms... We had our chances, but lacked quality in the final third. I don't need to put extra pressure on the team - the players already understand what's expected of them."
🚫 The team is dealing with several injuries: Nicolo Bertola (hip injury), Jordan Zemura (hip injury), and Adam Buksa (hamstring injury) are unavailable, and Alessandro Zanoli is definitely out with an ACL tear, sidelined for the rest of the season.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Genoa continue to delight those betting on the over 1.5 goals market. Under De Rossi, the "Grifoni" have become noticeably more prolific, with this bet hitting in 7 of their last 8 Serie A matches. There’s little reason to expect a deviation in their upcoming fixture.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Genoa rank among the worst Serie A teams in terms of corners earned, averaging just 3.5 per match, with only Cremonese faring worse at 3.3. It’s also worth noting that Genoa have delivered fewer than 5.5 corners in 9 of their last 10 home league games. This will be our bet.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Genoa are the favorites in the upcoming clash, and it's hard to argue with that assessment given the circumstances. Firstly, the "Grifoni" have been consistently delivering positive results, while the "Little Zebras" are struggling to secure points, relying heavily on luck to avoid heavier defeats. Secondly, Udinese have a poor track record against the Genoese side - their last head-to-head victory was back in 2020, and they have lost the last four encounters outright. Therefore, we back Genoa to win with a (0) handicap. We're expecting a scoreline of 2-0 on the board.No comments
