Genoa vs Udinese Preview and Team News
Genoa Team News
The pressure will be on Genoa when they kick off the Serie A weekend on Friday. The Italian side have only won once across their previous five matches, leaving them adrift of the top half of the standings on 35 points.
Genoa’s main issues this season have come in the final third of the field. They have taken just 19 goals from an open-play xG of 23.21. Andrea Pinamonti is their top scorer in the league, netting eight times from an xG of 6.32. Defensively, they’ve been reliable, conceding 23 balls from an xGA of 30.1.
The hosts will welcome Aaron Martin Caricol back from suspension this weekend. Meanwhile, Hugo Cuenca, Junior Messias, and Mattia Bani have all returned to first-team training and could feature.

Udinese Team News
Udinese will still have dreams of a top-half finish in Serie A this season, but will need to bounce back to form after suffering defeats in each of their previous two and failing to win in their last three. A victory on Friday would see them cut the gap on ninth-placed AC Milan to four points.
The Italian squad have narrowly underperformed in terms of the xG metrics, scoring 24 goals from an open-play xG of 25.02. But, they have been excellent at attacking corners this season, getting seven from an estimated 6.43. Defensively, they’ve outperformed their xGA of 38.40, conceding just 25 balls.
Alexis Sanchez remains out for the weekend due to a calf injury. Florian Thauvin and Razvan Sava aren’t likely to return to action until their next Serie A match.
Udinese predicted lineup vs Genoa
Udinese predicted lineup vs Genoa: (3-5-1-1): Okoye; Kristensen, Bijol, Solet; Ehizibue, Lovric, Payero, Atta, Kamara; Ekkelenkamp; Lucca.
