Prediction: 3-1
Udinese
Napoli will be looking to build on a 4-1 win over Spezia when they host Udinese at their Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Matchday 36. The Neapolitans did well to overtake Juventus in fourth position in the standings, but they can’t afford any complacency in the remainder of the season. Even though all Lobotka, Ghoulam, Koulibaly, and Maksimovic are all sidelined with injuries, home win should be considered as Udinese have little to play for in the season finale.
The Zebrette are stuck in the middle of the standings, meaning that they head into the midweek clash with the lack of motivation. All Braaf, Pussetto, Jajalo, Nestorovski, and Deulofeu remain in the recovery room, while Llorente should recover in time to face Napoli. The Neapolitans emerged triumphant in eight of the previous nine meetings with the Zebrette in the Italian top flight.
