22 march 2009: Genoa – Udinese
MATCH: GENOA – UDINESE
GENOA
The most surprising team of the season: 4th place, 13 wins, 9 drawsa and 6 losses 37 goals scored and 27 conceded.
Great boost of confidence came against Cagliari, with a good 0-1 victory, and the probabilities to reach the Champions League zone increased; they are playing great now, beaten only by Inter Milan in the last 10 games.
The defence will have available all the key player that missed the last game (Ferrari and Biava).
Team news:
Vanden Borre, Thiago Motta, Scarpi, El Shaarawi , Jankovic will miss the game.

UDINESE
Udinese is on 12th position, safe from relegation. After an impressive start of the season the team lost many points and conceded too many goals. Their play is good , sometimes brilliant, and reach the quarter of finals playing the Uefa Cup.
Overall, Palermo has quality players but they alternating good play (and results) with bad play: the away record is 2 win, 4 draw, 8 lost with 16 goals scored and 26 conceded.
Team news:
Ferronetti, Tissone, Coda, Lukovic will miss the game.

VERDICT
Udinese have key player missing the game, Genoa will play this game with the full squad and with the home advantage. Genoa have made themselves hard to beat at home with 5 win and only 1 loss on 10 games.
Udinese will play this match with a lot of confidence after an important win over Zenith last game in the Uefa Cup, but the away record is very poor even with the full squad… I see hard for Udinese win in Genoa without so many key player.
