Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-2
Napoli
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Monza, Udinese will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Napoli in the Serie A round 16. The Zebrette did well to put an end to their five-game winless run at the weekend and, no doubt, the triumph gave them a confidence boost. Isaak Toure is back from suspension, while all Payero, Davis, Okoye, and Chile ace Alexis Sanchez remain in the treatment room.
The Neapolitans, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Lazio where they failed to turn their dominance into goals. Napoli are more of a team than Udinese and we predict that Antonio Conte’s troops are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s clash. Bear in mind, though, that star player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has joined defender Pasquale Mazzocchi in Napoli’s recovery room. You should know that Napoli are undefeated in the previous 17 meetings with Udinese in all competitions.
