Udinese – Genoa

Udinese host a struggling Genoa in what promises to be a decisive clash in the lower half of the table. Sitting 13th with four points from three games – a win, a draw and a loss, and an even 5‑5 goal balance – the Friulian side will be eager to extend their modest revival. Genoa, languishing in 19th place with just a single point after three defeats and a 2‑8 deficit, will need to reverse a dismal run of three straight losses. The disparity in both points and goal difference suggests Udinese enter the match as clear favorites, while Genoa will be desperate for a first win to spark any hope of survival. Both teams will know that the three points on offer could dramatically reshape the fight for safety and mid‑table stability.
