Napoli will be looking to maintain their great form as they host Udinese in a very important match as the Serie A season nears its end. Napoli are fourth with 70 points one point above fifth-placed Juventus against whom the Neapolitans suffered their only defeat in their last 13 matches.

A top-half finish is Udinese’s ambition

Comfortable at mid-table at the 11th position, Udinese will be looking to keep their current position in Serie A which is their best in seven seasons. The Bianconerri have won just two of their last nine matches and traveling to Napoli on Tuesday, coach Luca Gotti will be content with a point from this match.

Despite netting the opener in the first half in four of their last five matches, Udinese could hold on to their lead twice in five matches. Gotti must urge his team to open the scoring as Udinese have a dreadful record in the Serie A when conceding first winning just one and losing 13 of their 18 matches.
