Andriy Shevchenko seeks his first points on the Genoa bench and visits an Udinese side with one win from their last 10 games.
The new Grifone coach made his debut in a 2-0 home defeat to Roma, but had held out well for almost 80 minutes until the breakthrough. Injuries continue to pile up, so Flavio Bianchi is pushing for a starting spot upfront.
Udinese have a full squad to choose from, although their problem is in attack, scoring just seven goals in the last six games.
