One of the matches of Serie A's 14th round will take place on Monday at the "Friuli" stadium in Udine, where the local side Udinese will host Genoa. I'm proposing a bet on goals in this encounter, which comes with promising odds for a win.

Match preview
Udinese comes into this match on the back of a confident win over Parma, seemingly regaining their confidence. However, their home record tells a different story—just two victories in their last eleven outings at the Friuli. What's more, the hosts have consistently conceded goals—opponents found the net in seven of their last eight home fixtures.
In attack, Udinese doesn't boast impressive firepower: scoring more than one goal at home has been a rarity. Despite their recent win, defensive woes and poor conversion of chances remain the team's main weaknesses. It's crucial for Udinese not to lose their momentum, but their opponent is far from a pushover.
Genoa, despite their modest position in the table, have shown clear improvement in recent rounds. Their win over Verona was their second of the season, and, importantly, the team has started to regularly score more than once per game. Their attacking play has looked especially sharp in the last four rounds, with the squad displaying confidence in the final third.
On the road, Genoa have consistently found the net—eight consecutive away matches without drawing a blank. Notably, in their last two head-to-head away games against Udinese, Genoa scored twice on each occasion. Now, the visitors have a great opportunity to extend their streak and snatch points against the hosts' unstable defense.
Probable lineups
- Udinese: Okoye, Bertola, Sole, Zemura, Zanoli, Piotrowski, Karlstrom, Atta, Kabasele, Zaniolo, Davis
- Genoa: Leali, Marcandalli, Estigor, Vasquez, Caricol, Ellertsson, Thorsby, Frendrup, Malinovskyi, Vitinha, Colombo
Match facts and head-to-head
- Genoa have scored in eight consecutive away matches in Serie A.
- Udinese have conceded in seven of their last eight home games.
- In the last two head-to-heads at Udinese's ground, the visitors scored twice in each match.
Prediction
Genoa's attacking form currently inspires more confidence than the hosts' defensive displays. The visitors have found their rhythm in front of goal and look dangerous even away from home. Meanwhile, Udinese continue to struggle with defensive lapses, especially at the Friuli. I expect Genoa to capitalize and find the net at least once in this match.
