Udinese - Genoa: forecast for the Serie A match
The 14th round of the Italian Serie A will feature a match between Udinese and Genoa. The visitors are in 17th place in the championship and are very close to the relegation zone, while the hosts are confidently in the middle of the standings, in ninth place. Will the Genoese club be able to take points from Udine on December 1? We will try to answer this question in our forecast for this match.

Command Analysis

Udinese

Current form
Udinese were on the brink of relegation last season and fought to the very end to stay in Serie A. Thanks to a run of five matches without defeat at the end of the season, the club from Udine managed to stay in the top division of Italian football, finishing the championship in 15th place, just two points from the relegation zone. It is clear that this time the hosts will try to avoid such a nervous breakdown and finish at least in the middle of the table.
The club is currently doing very well and is in ninth place in Serie A. Not a bad result, considering that the team from Udine has only scored one point in the last four matches. After defeats to Venice (2:3), Juventus (0:2) and Atalanta (1:2), the hosts tied with their neighbor in the standings, Empoli (1:1). Due to a large number of failures, Kosta Runjaic charges have pulled away from the top 6 - now Juventus, which is in sixth place, is eight points ahead of the "little zebras".
Disqualifications and injuries
Gerard Deulofeu is out with an injury and Jaka Bijol is out with an accumulation of yellow cards. Arthur Atta and Martin Payero are in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- The hosts have not beaten Genoa in any of their last five head-to-head matches
- The team has not won a single game in its last four matches.
Prospective lineup: Okoye - Jannetti, Kabasele, Toure - Ehizibue, Lovric, Carlstrom, Zarraga, Camara - Thauvin, Davis

Genoa

Current form
Genoa found themselves on the edge of the relegation zone after 13 matches played. The club managed to collect only 11 points and is ahead of 18th Como only by additional indicators. This season is going much worse for the Genoese than the previous one, in which they managed to take a decent 11th place. In addition to the unsuccessful performance in the championship, the club also flew out of the Italian Cup, losing to Sampdoria in a penalty shootout.
In the last three rounds, the visitors managed to avoid defeats, but they also managed to win only once. Patrick Vieira charges beat Parma (1:0) in an away match, and then drew with Como (1:1) and Cagliari (2:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Honest Anahor, Connie de Winter, Jeff Ehator, Caleb Ekuban and Ruslan Malinovskiy will miss the upcoming match due to injury. Pierluigi Gollini, David Ancaille and Vitinha are questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won only one of its last 12 matches.
- The visitors have lost three of their last four away matches.
Estimated lineup: Leali - Caricol, Bani, Matturro, Sabelli - Frendrup, Badelj, Torsby - Miretti, Pinamonti, Zanoli

1.65Tip and bets
Although Udinese have not played their best matches in recent games, the team still poses a huge threat on their home field. In their last home games, the hosts have only lost to top clubs - Inter and Juventus. Since Genoa still cannot cope with the crisis and remains one of the contenders for relegation, we believe that the Genoese will not be able to score points in Udine.
Our forecast is Udinese victory in 1.98
Bet on total
Genoa have not demonstrated outstanding attacking play yet. Only Empoli and Lecce have scored fewer goals than the visitors this season. The hosts were quite successful at the beginning of the season, but they have not scored much lately either. Most likely, the opponents will limit themselves to one or two goals, as in most of the recent head-to-head matches.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.67
Bet on corners
Udinese have managed to win in corners in their last four matches. We believe that the club from Udine will be able to beat Genoa in corners.
Our prediction: Udinese will take more corners at 1.55
