20th March 2026

Genoa head into Friday’s Serie A clash with back-to-back wins and decent form (D W L W W). Udinese (L L W D L) are inconsistent but have a match-winner in Nicolo Zaniolo – and right now he’s electric.

Team News & Predicted Lineups

Predicted XIs from the Statz H2H page:

Genoa (3-5-2): Bijlow; Vasquez, Ostigard, Marcandalli; Sabelli, Messias, Baldanzi, Frendrup, Ellertsson; Colombo, Ekuban

Udinese (3-5-2): Okoye; Kristensen, Kabasele, Ehizibue; Kamara, Atta, Karlstrom, Ekkelenkamp, Zarraga; Zaniolo, Davis

Key Stats

Nicolo Zaniolo is the player to watch – 3 goals and 1 SOT in his last 5, but also 3 fouls committed in that span. Electric and combustible in equal measure. Jordy Ekkelenkamp supports him from midfield with 3 shots on target in 5.

Udinese’s wing-backs are lively too – Ali Atta has 1 goal and 2 assists in 5, Jens Karlstrom adds 1 goal, 2 assists and 2 SOT. This is a team with creative output spread across the pitch.

For Genoa, Luca Colombo leads the line with 3 goals in 5. Morten Frendrup is active in midfield, Malick Ellertsson contributes 1 goal, 2 assists and 1 SOT from the wing. Full stats on the H2H page and Serie A hub.

Bet Builder Angles

Zaniolo to score anytime is the standout – 3 in 5 at a big price. Pair with Colombo 1+ shot on target for a both-teams-attacking builder. Zaniolo to be carded (3 fouls per 5-game average) is a value longshot.

Both teams to score is near-certain given the attacking numbers across both XIs. Build it on the Statz Bet Builder Tool.

Verdict

Genoa’s home form gives them the edge. Both teams to score in a narrow home win is the play. Zaniolo to score anytime is the value pick – back it regardless of result.
