That’s the prediction of Genoa – Udinese of 6 November 2016 between the odds of Serie A Round 12.
To make the leap and join the race to Europe, Genoa must improve the continuity plan. In less than 10 days, in fact, the Griffin gave three very different performances between them: the narrow defeat in the derby was followed goleada on Milan (who had arrived at Marassi exalted by success over Juventus) and the drubbing of Bergamo.
The change of coach has done really well at Udinese: after arriving at the bench Delneri, who on Sunday will play the former, Udinese lost 2-1 against Juventus, beaten 3-1 both Pescara that Palermo drew 2-2 with Torino. For once the Latin saying “nemo prophet in his homeland” (the good Gigi is Aquileia) it does not seem to apply.
Other data and then we sbilanciamo.
Tenth class on 15 points, Genoa has a good internal roster (2-3-0) and must complete a match.
Inserted in the trio at an altitude of 14, Udinese away knows no half measures: 2-0-3.
The triple was designed for games like this: not being able to use, we rely on instinct and choose the combination 1 + Over 2.5.
Reason For Genoa vs Udinese Betting Tips
Udinese are on the up at the minute, having moved from relegation trouble to 13th in the table. They’re now just a single point off this weekend’s opponents Genoa, who are 10th. While the visitors struggled early on in the season, they’re out to prove that there’s little between these two sides. Can they claim a third away victory of the season?
Udinese are actually unlucky not to be in the top half themselves. They could well have made it three straight victories on Monday, as they drew 2-2 at home to Torino. They were leading 2-1 during that clash, but they had to settle for a point in the end. A win there would have moved them above Genoa, a side who are in mixed form of late.
The hosts have just two wins in their last eight games. They’ve won just once in their last four, although that was an impressive 3-0 victory over AC Milan. While that was a high point, they’ve struggled to repeat that kind of performance consistently. Genoa may be above their opponents for now, but Udinese will certainly threaten to leapfrog them on Sunday.
The visitors travel here having scored twice or more in their last three Serie A matches. That sudden goal surge has been a key part of their rise up the table. They’ve now scored 1.36 goals per game, thanks to their strong record of late. They’ve managed to find the net pretty consistently across the season, they’ve scored in 73% of their fixtures so far.
Those goals include strikes away to Juventus and AC Milan, two of the top three in the table. They come here having scored in their last four matches, and they’ll be looking to add to that scoring record away to Genoa, a team who have conceded a goal per game this term. They found the net three times in their last away match, and they’re looking pretty confident.
While Udinese should score here, they have conceded 1.6 goals per game this term. Genoa score 1.4 times per home match, and that number should go up once they take on an Udinese defence who have let in 18 in total already. That’s why we’re backing both teams to score, which is priced at 10/11 with bet365.

Genoa vs Udinese: Prediction
Despite marking his Udinese debut with a loss (2-1 to Juventus), Luigi Delneri seems to have stabilized the ship somewhat. As noted before, the Zebrette have won two and drawn the other of their past three games. They are truly growing in confidence. That being said, Genoa are a tough customer at their home ground. The Grifone have had their problems, and Udinese could possibly take advantage of this to snatch at least a point. A win, however, could be too tough for the visitors.
