The trend of at least one team drawing a blank in games involving Udinese has been evident of late. Looking at their last six games shows that it has occurred 5 times. During these clashes, opposing sides have hit a goal total of 5 while Udinese have scored 10. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be continued here, however.

Taking a look at their past results, Udinese:

• haven't won against SSC Napoli in away games against them for the last 14 league matches. Imagine their relief when they finally get an away win.
• are unbeaten in their previous 5 away league matches.

🗞️ Team News: Napoli

It looks as if Partenopei will possibly kick off with a 3-4-2-1 system for this game with Alex Meret, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, A. Buongiorno, Matteo Politano, Stanislav Lobotka, Scott McTominay, Leonardo Spinazzola, Kevin De Bruyne, Alisson Santos and Rasmus Hoejlund.

📰 Team News: Udinese

Udinese manager Kosta Runjaić has some current player fitness concerns. Nicolò Zaniolo (Lumbago), Jurgen Ekkelenkamp (Broken fibula) and Alessandro Zanoli (Cruciate ligament tear) are names that won’t be on the team sheet. Hassane Kamara cannot play in this game through suspension.

There’s a good chance that Bianconeri Friuliani seem most likely to begin the game with a 3-5-2 system, starting Maduka Okoye, Thomas Kristensen, Christian Kabasele, Oumar Solet, Kingsley Ehizibue, Lennon Miller, Jesper Karlstroem, Arthur Atta, Jordan Zemura, Adam Buksa and Keinan Davis.

⚡ Prediction

SSC Napoli have it within them to dominate possession and create several successful chances.

In contrast, Udinese may well find it hard to get a goal of their own - but, we do see them managing to get on the scoresheet here.

Accordingly, we see a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning margin for SSC Napoli after 90 minutes.
