Udinese vs Genoa Prediction 08.12.2025 | Serie A

The Friuli-based outfit saw their Coppa Italia journey come to an abrupt halt in midweek, condemned to a 2–0 defeat in Turin against Juventus — their third setback across their last four appearances in all competitions.

The lone bright spark in this otherwise gloomy stretch came in their latest league outing, where they delivered an inspired, two-way performance to glide past Parma with a composed two-goal victory. That triumph not only propelled them into the top half of the table but also carved out a comfortable eight-point cushion above the relegation line.

Notably, seven of their eight home points this season have been harvested from their most recent quartet of matches at Bluenergy Stadium — a clear sign that the White and Blacks have rekindled their confidence on home soil and will look to reaffirm that newfound edge in this demanding upcoming clash.

Head coach Kosta Runjaic enjoys the rare luxury of a mostly clean bill of health, with Hassane Kamara and Arthur Atta the only absentees as the duo continues their recovery from injury.

Genoa arrive at Monday’s showdown carrying their own share of midweek disappointment, having been ruthlessly dismissed from the Coppa Italia last-16 in a bruising 4-0 collapse against Atalanta — a result that exposed their vulnerabilities in the most painful fashion.

Yet as the Griffoni return to domestic duties, there is a genuine sense that their Serie A revival is finally gathering momentum. They have stitched together a four-match unbeaten surge — harvesting eight valuable points along the way — a remarkable turnaround for a side that had scraped together only three points from their opening nine fixtures.

This resurgence has lifted the Ligurian outfit out of the relegation zone, though their safety remains precarious, with just a single point separating them from the bottom three. It leaves no margin for complacency as they strive to build further distance and restore calm among their anxious supporters.

Head coach Daniele De Rossi will once again be forced to improvise with his lineup, with Albert Gronbaek and winger Maxwel Cornet both still confined to the recovery room and unavailable for the clash with Udinese.
