Our predictions for Udinese vs Genoa
Match Prediction: Udinese 2-1 Genoa
Udinese's recent form suggests a team capable of securing victories against strong opposition at home, as evidenced by their win against Atalanta. However, their away performances have been less convincing, with losses to Roma and Juventus. The predicted 3-5-2 formation could provide the necessary balance to challenge Genoa, particularly with the attacking threat posed by Davis and Zaniolo.
Genoa, on the other hand, have shown resilience, drawing against Cagliari and Fiorentina, and securing a win against Hellas Verona at home. Their ability to score and concede goals indicates a potentially open game. With Frendrup and Martín in midfield, Genoa could control the tempo, but Udinese's recent home form might just tip the scales in their favour.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
Udinese (3-5-2)
Predicted lineup: Okoye (GK), Bertola (DF), Kabasele (DF), Solet (DF), Zanoli (MF), Karlström (MF), Atta (MF), Piotrowski (MF), Zemura (MF), Davis (AT), Zaniolo (AT)
Udinese's predicted 3-5-2 formation, with Okoye in goal and a back three of Bertola, Kabasele, and Solet, should provide defensive solidity. The midfield quintet, including Atta and Piotrowski, will be key in transitioning play to the attacking duo of Davis and Zaniolo, who could exploit any gaps in Genoa's defence.
Genoa (3-5-2)
Predicted lineup: Leali (GK), Marcandalli (DF), Østigård (DF), Vásquez (DF), Ellertsson (MF), Thorsby (MF), Malinovskyi (MF), Frendrup (MF), Martín (MF), Vitinha (AT), Colombo (AT)
Genoa's predicted 3-5-2 setup, anchored by Leali in goal and a defensive trio of Østigård, Vásquez, and Marcandalli, aims to balance defensive stability with attacking options. The midfield, led by Thorsby and Martín, will be crucial in dictating the game's pace and feeding the ball to the forwards Vitinha and Colombo.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
Davis vs Østigård: Davis's pace and finishing will test Østigård's defensive positioning and strength.
Atta vs Malinovskyi: Atta's control in midfield will be challenged by Malinovskyi's dynamism and passing range.
Zaniolo (Udinese): Zaniolo's creativity and goal-scoring threat make him pivotal for Udinese's attack.
Frendrup (Genoa): Frendrup's ability to break up play and distribute the ball is crucial for Genoa's midfield control.
