Our prediction for this Serie A match:
After sharing the spoils with AS Roma at Stadio Olimpico, Napoli will be aiming to retain top position in the Serie A table when they face Udinese at their Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The Neapolitans have been impressive at home ground this season, but the Zebrette should not be written off just yet. Mathias Olivera remains in the recovery room, but the 27-year-old defender should be the only absentee in the home team.
Udinese, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Venezia and they managed to get one. The Zebrette, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Napoli’s party at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Defender Hassane Kamara serves a one-game ban, while all Maduka Okoye, Lautaro Giannetti, Keinan Davis, Kingsley Ehzibue, and Isaak Toure are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
