Udinese vs Genoa prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-12-07 17:00.
[p]After both losing in the Coppa Italia in midweek, Udinese and Genoa will be looking for an instant response this weekend in Serie A.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Udinese crashed out of the Coppa Italia with a 2-0 loss to Juventus in midweek, with that a third defeat from their last four games (W1). That sole victory did at least come in their last league outing when they downed Parma 2-0, but they remain six points shy of the top six pre-round, which largely owes to a lack of consistency. Kosta Runjaić’s side have won consecutive league matches only once this campaign, but three wins in their last five games at this venue (D1, L1) suggest Udinese are well placed to secure a second such pair of victories here.[/p]
[p]Genoa were humbled in midweek cup action, being thrashed 4-0 by Atalanta, but that may yet prove to be a blessing as they can now focus all their efforts on Serie A, where only one point separates them from the relegation zone. A four-game unbeaten league run (W2, D2) has played a major part in raising hopes of stretching their three-season stint in the top flight, but they still have some way to go before they can rest easily. Hitting the road could prove to be opportunely timed in that sense, as Genoa are unbeaten in their last two league road trips (W1, D1), while a win against Verona in their last Serie A outing affords them the chance to win back-to-back top-flight games for the first time since January 2024.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Genoa are unbeaten in the last seven H2Hs (W3, D4), while Udinese have failed to score in their last three Serie A games against Genoa. They haven’t endured a longer goalless H2H run in their top-flight history.[/p]
