Best Bet for Genoa vs Udinese

Stadio Luigi Ferraris will play host to a meeting of two sides hovering in mid-table limbo, as Genoa welcome Udinese for what could either be a drab end-of-season crawl or a surprise thriller. Neither outfit is battling for survival, nor are they charging towards Europe — which in some ways makes this even more interesting. With the shackles off and not much to lose, could we get a show under the lights in Genoa?

The hosts are clinging to some hope of cracking the top ten, but they’re five points adrift of their visitors heading into this one. Genoa’s form at home has been quietly excellent in 2025 — they’ve pocketed four wins and a draw from five games since the turn of the year, making their own turf feel more like a fortress than a playground. And let’s not forget, they did get the better of Udinese back in December, a solid 2-0 away win that saw them boss the tempo.

On the other side, Udinese arrive licking their wounds from back-to-back defeats, and although their fans would love to believe it’s just a blip, the signs suggest a bit more than bad luck. Runjaic’s men had steadied the ship for a while, but losses to Hellas Verona and Inter — one fighting the drop, the other chasing the title — have brought some turbulence back into the mix. So, with both sides in an odd state of ‘nearly-there-but-not-quite’, it’s hard to call, but there are patterns worth watching.

Best Bet for Genoa vs Udinese: Both Teams to Score – Yes

After analysing every stat, every trend, and every bit of squad news, we’ve landed on our ultimate prediction for this Serie A clash — Both Teams to Score. At BettingTips4You.com, we don’t mess around with multiple tips and scattergun suggestions. One match, one bet. That’s the philosophy. It keeps things sharp, clear, and most importantly, profitable in the long run.

Now, let’s dig into why we think both nets will be rattled in this one. First off, Udinese love a goal away from home — not necessarily scoring loads, but certainly conceding them. A whopping 73% of their matches on the road this season have ended with both sides getting on the scoresheet. That’s not a fluke, that’s a trend.

Genoa, meanwhile, might be solid at home, but they aren’t exactly watertight at the back. Over half of their home fixtures (53%) have also ended with goals for both themselves and the visitors. Add that to the fact that they’ve drawn nearly half (47%) of their games at the Ferraris, and you’ve got a recipe for a goal apiece and maybe another draw on the cards.

There’s also a bit of unpredictability baked into this fixture. Udinese may be missing several key names — Alexis Sanchez and Thauvin among others — but they still carry a threat in Lorenzo Lucca, who leads their line again. Genoa, for their part, welcome back Vitinha and Aaron Martin, both of whom add dynamism in the final third. Even Andrea Pinamonti, despite his recent dry spell, has previously haunted Udinese defences, and with Miretti and Malinovskyi expected to return to the XI, there’s no shortage of creativity feeding him.

Udinese’s Oumar Solet brings flair from the backline, surprisingly leading Serie A defenders for completed dribbles. It’s a chaotic stat — and a worrying one if you’re hoping your centre-back stays put. His presence might spark something at the other end or open the door at his own. Either way, it fuels the case for goals.

“When both teams carry attacking potential but defensive uncertainty, you don’t overthink it. You just back goals at both ends — it’s a no-brainer.” – BettingTips4You.com expert LUCA SEMPRONI

As for the correct score? We’re eyeing up a 2-2 draw. Why? Because both sides are capable of a bit of brilliance and a bit of madness. It feels just chaotic enough to happen.
