Napoli – Udinese : Preview & Prediction
Napoli, unbeaten since April 2016 against Udinese, have won the last 4 head-to-head meetings…Napoli inflicted notably 2 heavy defeats on Udine in their last two home duels last season (5-1) and in the first leg (4-0) last September. A fifth straight win against this opponent would allow Osimhen’s partners (9 goals) to put pressure on AC Milan, leader by 3 points. The current Serie A runners-up have won two of the last three games at Lazio Rome (2-1) and at Hellas Verona (2-1) last weekend. The home loss to AC Milan (0-1) on 6 March could hurt the final tally. Udinese will have a tough time at the Stadio Maradona as Napoli’s opponents have not won away from home since the start of the 2022 season. Cioffi’s side have taken just two points from their last four away games, against Genoa (0-0) and Milan (1-1) on 25 February, but have also suffered two defeats in Turin against Juventus (2-0) and at Hellas Verona (4-0). Udine will nevertheless try to confirm their last two good performances at home against Sampdoria (2-1) and AS Roma (1-1) even if the mission seems almost impossible.
Naples are in the title race and need to pick up maximum points at home.
Udinese are 14th and 8 points clear of the relegation zone.
