Genoa take on the visitors Udinese in the round 31 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, April 4th at Stadio Luigi Ferraris (Genoa).
Genoa not long ago lost their Serie A status. In the 2022/2023 season, they even risked getting stuck in Serie B, but Alberto Gilardino revealed his coaching potential — not only did he secure promotion, but he also kept the team solidly mid-table on their return. However, this season started differently, and not without reason: some key players were sold, while others, like Malinovskyi, were sidelined with injury. Gilardino couldn’t manage the situation and was quickly dismissed. His replacement, Patrick Vieira, managed to stabilize the side, and Genoa are once again comfortably placed in mid-table. In the last round, they narrowly lost to Juventus — one of Vieira’s former clubs — but the performance was competitive.

Udinese are having a decent season. The Zebrette are remembered fondly by long-time fans from the Di Natale era, but in recent years their ambitions have been limited to simply surviving in Serie A — which they consistently manage, even under different coaches. New manager Cioffi started brightly, picking up 10 points in the first four rounds. However, form dipped significantly toward the end of 2024, with just 10 more points collected by year’s end. Recently, though, they’ve shown signs of resurgence, including a 6-game unbeaten run between February and early March, winning four of those matches. Only against Verona did they suffer a clear setback, losing 0-1, while their latest match saw them fall to current leaders Inter with no surprises.
Genoa are unbeaten in the last six meetings with Udinese. The streak began with draws, but the last two encounters ended in wins for the Ligurian side. The hosts are seen as slight favorites here, and rightly so — they have more overall stability. Back Genoa with a “draw no bet” handicap.
Prediction for the match: Genoa to win with 0.0 handicap.
