Udinese and Genoa on December 1, 2024, presents a compelling scenario for both teams. Udinese currently occupies the ninth position in the league but has been struggling lately, remaining winless in their last four matches. In contrast, Genoa sits in 17th place yet enters this fixture with positive momentum, having gone unbeaten in their previous three encounters . This juxtaposition of form may heavily influence the outcome of the match.
Udinese enter the match with a respectable 17 points from their 13 games played, having secured 5 wins, 2 draws, and 6 defeats. Their goal difference stands at 16:19, indicating a relatively balanced attacking and defensive record. The home side's form at the Bluenergy Stadium has been particularly impressive, with 4 wins and 2 losses from their 6 home fixtures.
 CFC Genoa have struggled to find consistency this season, accumulating just 11 points from their 13 matches. With 2 wins, 5 draws, and 6 defeats, the visitors have found goals hard to come by, scoring only 11 while conceding 24. Their away form, however, shows some promise with 2 wins and 3 losses on their travels.

Predictable lineups:
Udinese possible starting lineup: Okoye; Kabasele, Giannetti, Toure; Ehizibue, Lovric, Karlstrom, Zarraga, Zemura; Thauvin, Davis
Genoa possible starting lineup: Leali; Sabelli, Bani, Vasquez, Martin; Thorsby, Badelj, Frendrup; Zanoli, Pinamonti, Miretti
 Despite Udinese's poor recent performances, they have rarely left the field without scoring. For example, in 4 of their last 5 matches, the "Little Zebras" managed to score at least once against their opponents. Only Juventus' defense, considered a model of reliability, played flawlessly. Genoa under Patrick Vieira showed highly productive football together with Cagliari in his first game (2-2).
Key player absences will also play a significant role in shaping the game dynamics. Udinese will be missing crucial players such as Bijol and Sánchez, while Genoa's lineup is affected by injuries to Malinovskyi and Ekuban. Historical data shows that past encounters have often ended closely contested; thus, predictions lean towards a draw or a narrow victory for either side. Analysts suggest that a final score of 1-1 is plausible given these considerations.
