- Udinese struggling with recent losses and poor away record.
Genoa vs Udinese
Genoa are closing in on the top half of the table as they host Udinese in an Italian Serie A fixture on Friday.
The hosts have been on the up under manager Patrick Vieira and are usually solid in front of their fans. The visitors look wobbly at the moment and given their struggles on the road, a home win looks the most likely outcome here.
Genoa Form
Genoa are coming off a 1-0 defeat at Juventus in their previous Serie A fixture. However, that was their first defeat in four matches in the league and had little effect on their position in the table as they remain 12th, five points off the top 10.
Friday’s clash is at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris where Genoa have done their best work lately. Vieira's team have won four of their last five home matches, keeping three clean sheets in that run.
Genoa are not blessed with plenty of attacking quality, so the manager tends to prioritize defensive solidity. As a result, six of their last seven Serie A matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
Udinese Form
Udinese are also coming off a defeat and were beaten 2-1 at champions Inter Milan last time out. That was their second straight Serie A defeat having also suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Verona prior to the international break.
Despite those two defeats, Udinese remain 10th in the table, although the likes of Torino and Genoa are closing in on them. Kosta Runjaic's men have struggled with a lack of cutting edge in attack lately which has seen four of their last five matches produce under 2.5 goals.
Another issue for Udinese is a poor record on their travels where they are winless in five of their last six Serie A matches. Beyond last week's defeat at San Siro, a 4-1 thrashing at newly promoted Como is also among their recent results on the road.
Head to Head
Genoa often have the upper hand in this fixture and are unbeaten in the last six matches against Udinese. They have won the last two meetings, claiming a 2-0 away victory in the reverse fixture and picking up a similar result in the previous home clash.
Verdict
Genoa and Udinese are not known for their attacking quality and with their last seven meetings producing under 2.5 goals, a repeat is expected here. The hosts usually keep things tight at the back and will be targeting a clean sheet here having had shutouts in four of the last five meetings with the visitors.
With four wins in their last five home matches and given their record against Udinese, Genoa are set to secure the win in this one.
