Prediction: 1-2
Napoli
Udinese and Napoli face each other at Stadio Friuli in the closing match of the Serie A round 35. The Zebrette suffered a dip in form, with the team losing three of their last four league matches and, as a result, they are sitting in the relegation zone ahead of Monday’s clash. As both Perez and Payero are banned for the match due to the accumulation of yellow cards, home win should not be considered.
The Partenopei, on the other hand, aim to move closer to the Conference League berth and seeing that Udinese suit them, away win should definitely be considered. It has to be noted that Napoli have defeated Udinese in seven of the previous eight meetings between the two teams. Defender Amir Rrahmani misses out through suspension, but the Kosovo international should be the only absentee in the away team.
