Genoa vs Udinese Betting Tips - Under 2.5 Goals

A tight Serie A contest seems likely on Friday evening as mid-table Genoa look to maintain their impressive winning form at the Stadio Communale.

The hosts return to home comforts after a narrow 1:0 defeat at Juventus last week. Kenan Yildiz´s first-half strike proved the difference-maker at the Allianz Stadium. 

Despite that defeat, Genoa remain comfortable in mid-table, placed 12th in the division, with 35 points already on the board. While relegation is usually a concern in the northern city, Patrick Vieira´s side now find themselves 12 points clear of the drop zone.

A superb home record in recent weeks has sparked a turnaround in fortunes for Genoa. After failing to win ten successive games at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris between September and December, the Griffin have since won four of their last five home fixtures played this year (W4, D1).

Defensively improved, low-scoring outcomes have been fairly frequent. Vieira´s men saw under 2.5 goals scored in all but one of their last seven matches, and in four of their last five games played in Genoa. 

Udinese comes into Friday's contest also on the back of a narrow road loss. The men from Udine slipped to a 2:1 defeat at Inter on Monday evening.  

Placed tenth in the division, five points ahead of Genoa, four of Udinese´s last five games also saw under 2.5 goals scored, while recent meetings between these sides suggest a similar outcome could be on the cards. Six of their last seven encounters saw fewer than three goals netted.

With those numbers in mind, I'm putting my stake on under 2.5 goals scored, with Genoa perhaps having enough momentum to claim a narrow home win.
