Genoa vs Udinese prediction 20.03.2026 | Serie A

Genoa return to the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in high spirits after an impressive 2:0 win at Hellas Verona last Sunday. Second-half goals from Vitinha and Leo Østigård sealed a third away victory of the season for Daniele De Rossi’s side.

A much-improved has seen Genoa win three of their last four Serie A matches, having previously managed just two victories in 11 league outings. De Rossi’s side now sit nine points clear of the relegation zone.

The Griffin have been particularly strong on home soil of late, claiming four wins from their last five fixtures at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium. Genoa had won just one of their first ten home league games this season.

Head coach De Rossi has a strong squad available this weekend. Jean Onana faces a late fitness test, with the hosts likely to remain unchanged from the side that eased past Verona

Udinese travel to Genoa on the back of a 1:0 defeat against Juventus in Udine last weekend. Jérémie Boga’s first-half strike proved decisive, handing the visitors a deserved victory.

Juventus controlled large periods of the contest, generating an xG of 3.34 from 22 shots. Udinese struggled to create clear chances, registering just ten attempts and an xG of 0.54.

Out of form in recent weeks, I Bianconeri have lost four of their last six matches, recording just one victory during that run.

Recent meetings with Genoa provide little encouragement for the struggling visitors. Udinese have lost their last four encounters with the Rossoblù, including a 1:0 defeat at the Luigi Ferraris last April, and have not beaten the hosts since 2020.

Udinese have four players set to miss out this week. Alessandro Zanoli, Nicolo Bertola, Jordan Zemura and Adam Buksa are expected to miss out this week.
