Genoa's misery after the recent sacking of Andriy Shevchenko continued as Salvatore Sirgu conceded six goals against Fiorentina on Monday night. Also this week, Udinese were eliminated from the Coppa Italia in extra time by Lazio. Despite this defeat and their previous loss against Juventus, Udinese have shown character under Gabriele Cioffi and are favourites to earn three points here, while Genoa are desperately trying to save a sinking ship right with another managerial change and some potential signings in this transfer window. 0:2
Genoa's new coach Alexander Blessin is expected to start his tenure with a 3-5-2 system, which was largely used by his two predecessors this season. Gerard Deulofeu will be initially rested for this fixture, while Rodrigo Becão played in midweek and will return to action in the league this weekend.
