Genoa vs Udinese prediction, H2H and probable lineups — April 4, 2025
As part of the 31st round of the Italian Serie A, a match between Genoa and Udinese will take place. The encounter will be held in Genoa on Friday, April 4. The game is scheduled to kick off at 20:45 Central European Time. I suggest betting on the match's goal-scoring potential.
Match Preview
Patrick Vieira has managed to instill a decent level of play in the "Griffins" and has almost ensured the team's safety from relegation. With eight matches remaining in the season, Genoa has pulled 12 points clear of the danger zone and looks like a solid mid-table team.
The club from Genoa still struggles against the giants, but Genoa reliably collects points against direct competitors. However, their low goal-scoring output is a concern, with only 28 goals scored in 30 matches.
Udinese is in a similar situation: the club is not competing for European competition spots, but they are also not in danger of relegation. Costa Runjaic's team sits right in the middle of the table and is unlikely to finish higher than their current tenth place.
In their last match, Udinese tried to challenge Inter but failed to take any points from Milan. Prior to that, there was an unsuccessful match against Verona, which allowed Torino to close in on them.
Match Facts
- Genoa is unbeaten at home in five consecutive matches.

Probable Lineups
- Genoa: Leali, Vasquez, Sabelli, De Winter, Matturro, Onana, Frendrup, Zanoli, Miretti, Malinovskyi, Pinamonti.

H2H
Udinese has failed to defeat Genoa in six consecutive games.
Prediction
Neither team has been particularly prolific in front of goal recently, so don't expect a spectacle. I think a good option would be to bet on the total being under 2.5 goals.
