Udinese will welcome Genoa to the Bluenergy Stadium in Serie A on Monday. The visitors have won just two of their 13 league games, and are 16th in the standings with 11 points. Le Zebrette have fared slightly better with five wins and have 18 points to their name.
The hosts overcame Parma 2-0 in their previous league outing, thanks to goals from Nicolò Zaniolo and Keinan Davis. They met Juventus in the Coppa Italia last week and suffered a 2-0 away defeat.
The Grifone are unbeaten in their last four league games and defeated Verona 2-1 last month. Lorenzo Colombo equalized in the 40th minute, and Morten Thorsby scored the match-winner in the 62nd minute. They were in action against Atalanta in the Coppa Italia last week and lost 4-0.

Udinese vs Genoa Prediction
Le Zebrette are winless in their last seven meetings against the visitors, failing to score in five, which is a cause for concern. They have lost three of their last four games in all competitions, with the only win in that period coming away from home.
Hassane Kamara remains sidelined, while Arthur Atta picked up a hamstring injury in the Coppa Italia last week and will sit this one out.
The Grifone are unbeaten in their last four league games, scoring nine goals, and will look to build on that form. They have scored two goals apiece in three of their last four meetings against the hosts.
Ruslan Malinovskyi is fit enough to start here, but Daniele De Rossi remains without the services of Stefano Sabelli, Maxwel Cornet, and Albert Grønbæk.
The visitors have won their last three games in this fixture, and considering their recent uptick in form, we back them to secure a narrow win.
Prediction: Udinese 1-2 Genoa
