UDINE, Italy (Interstat) — Udinese and Genoa will meet Monday in a Serie A match at the Bluenergy Stadium, with both sides looking to rebound from midweek defeats.

The Monday afternoon fixture, scheduled for Dec. 8, 2025, pits a 14th-place Udinese side against a Genoa team sitting 16th in Italy’s top flight.

Udinese (3-5-6) fell 2-0 at Juventus on Tuesday, snapping a brief two-match unbeaten run. Their form at home has been mixed, with a notable 1-0 win over Atalanta on Nov. 1 followed by losses to AC Milan and AS Roma. Overall, they have secured just one victory in their last six league contests.

Genoa (4-6-4) arrives after a demoralizing 4-0 road loss to Atalanta on Wednesday. That result halted momentum from a 2-1 home win over Verona the previous weekend. The Griffins have been inconsistent, showing resilience in draws with Cagliari and Fiorentina but also suffering heavy defeats to top-half sides like Lazio and Napoli earlier in the campaign.

A statistical projection from Interstat forecasts a 1-1 draw, a result that would extend Udinese’s winless streak but offer Genoa a point on the road.

The matchup carries weight for two clubs seeking distance from the relegation conversation. Udinese will rely on home support, though their attack has been stifled in recent outings. Genoa must demonstrate defensive fortitude after Wednesday’s collapse.

KEY CONTEXT: - Udinese’s next match is a tough home test against Napoli on Dec. 14. - Genoa faces a daunting schedule ahead, hosting Inter Milan on Dec. 14 before a rematch with Atalanta on Dec. 21.

Monday’s game kicks off at 8:45 p.m. local time (1945 GMT).
