Napoli vs Udinese – Napoli bounced back from a humiliating home loss to AC Milan last weekend by defeating Hellas Verona 1-2 on the road. As a result, they took advantage of another Inter Milan blunder to reclaim second place in Serie A.
I Partinopei are still three points behind leaders AC Milan, but the title battle is still wide open in the season’s remaining nine games.
The next opponent for Napoli will be Udinese, who will arrive at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in great spirits. Despite playing the likes of Lazio, AC Milan, Sampdoria, and Roma, Udinese were unbeaten in four consecutive league games.
Last Saturday, the team headed by Gabrielle Cioffi was unfortunate to concede a last-minute 94th-minute equalizer from the penalty spot against Roma.
However, it’s worth mentioning that the great majority of Udinese’s impressive performances this season have occurred at Dacia Arena.
On the road, though, Udinese have lost three and drawn two of their previous five away matches in all competitions, scoring only one goal in the process.
We should expect Napoli to keep things quiet at the back on Saturday because they have the best defensive record in the league.
Napoli vs Udinese – Betting Stats
Napoli will be eager to build on their success in Verona and close the gap on AC Milan in the title race. They’ve scored nine goals in their last two head-to-head games with Udinese, and they’ve won eleven of the last twelve H2H matchups in this series.
Udinese have only scored once in their last five away games in all competitions. As a result, we’ll bet on the hosts to win to nil at 2.37 odds.
