Team form: Genoa vs Udinese
Genoa Form
Consistency has not been a trademark for Genoa recently, and their last three matches first saw them sharing the points in a 1-1 draw with Cagliari. This was followed by a 2-1 win against Lecce, before they lost 1-0 against Juventus. Genoa claimed four wins in their last six Serie A matches at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. They came through these games with a record of one draw and one defeat, in which they conceded four and scored nine goals.
Udinese Form
A draw is all that prevents Udinese from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They claimed this single draw against Lazio as the match ended 1-1 before getting trounced against Verona by a 0-1 score. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Inter won the game and the exact score was 2-1. Udinese only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Serie A. In these six matches they drew three and lost two as well as being outscored by eight goals to five.
