Prediction: 1-2
Udinese
Genoa and Udinese face each other at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on day 23 of the current Serie A campaign. Genoa suffered an embarrassing 6-0 loss to Fiorentina on Monday evening, with the team remaining in the relegation zone ahead of the visit of Udinese. New boss Abdoulay Konko is under big pressure, and, no doubt, his men are going to leave their hearts on the field in Saturday’s clash.
Mexico defender Johan Vasquez is back from suspension, while all Kallon, Hernani, and Criscito are out of contention with injuries. The Zebrette, on the other hand, faced a tough fixture list at the start of year, with the team losing to both Atalanta and Juventus. Udinese, though, should take advantage of Genoa’s shaky defence. The likes of Silvestri, Molina, and Pereyra are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side.
