Genoa vs. Udinese: Serie A Clash Preview, Team News & Lineups

Genoa, managed by Patrick Vieira, have shown resilience at home, contrasting with their struggles on the road. Their recent 1-0 loss to Juventus highlighted their difficulty away from the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. However, their home record in 2025 is impressive, ranking among the best in Serie A. The return of left-back Aaron Martin from suspension and forward Vitinha bolsters their squad.

Udinese, under Kosta Runjaic, needs to bounce back after consecutive defeats halted a prior six-game unbeaten streak. Despite spirited performances, including a narrow loss to Inter Milan where defender Oumar Solet scored a superb solo goal, results haven't gone their way. Solet's impact since January has been notable, leading Serie A defenders in dribbles completed during that period. However, injuries impact their squad, with Keinan Davis, Alexis Sanchez, and Jordan Zemura sidelined. They have reportedly switched to a 4-4-2 formation for this match, hoping to regain attacking impetus led by Lorenzo Lucca.

Primarily positioning in the top half of Serie A. Neither team has immediate relegation worries or European qualification hopes, making this about securing a respectable league finish and building momentum.

For Genoa, keep an eye on Andrea Pinamonti, who enjoys scoring against Udinese. For Udinese, defender Oumar Solet has been impressive defensively and offensively since his arrival, while Lorenzo Lucca remains their main goal threat.

Genoa (4-2-3-1): Leali; Sabelli, De Winter, Vasquez, Martin; Frendrup, Masini; Zanoli, Malinovskyi, Thorsby; Pinamonti. Udinese (4-4-2): Okoye; Ehizibue, Bijol, Solet, Kamara; Atta, Zarraga, Karlstrom, Ekkelenkamp; Bravo, Lucca.
