Although their title challenge burned out quite quickly, Napoli are still enjoying an exciting season under Maurizio Sarri. They are the top scorers in Seria A with 72 goals, most of which have remarkably been scored away from the Stadio San Paolo (38). They have only lost once in the league in 2017 and more recently they have won 4 of their last 5 in Serie A.
Udinese have been in impressive recent form themselves, winning 3 of their last 4 Serie A games. They have only conceded more than 1 goal in a game on 1 occasion in their last 7 outings and their defensive improvement will have manager Luigi Delneri purring. Their last league defeat came at the end of February to Lazio who sit just once place below Napoli in the table.
A second half double from Lorenzo Insigne handed Napoli a 2-1 win in Udinese when the sides last met back in mid-November. Napoli have lost just twice at home in Serie A this season, while Udinese have won just 4 times away in 15 trips. Read our match predictions and Napoli vs Udinese betting tips below.
Although Udinese have been in decent form, their run of good results isn’t really as impressive as it seems at first glance. Their 3 league wins on the trot came against some of the weakest sides in Serie A. Napoli have been playing with a real swagger and look like scoring every time the enter the opposition’s half. Regardless of the opponent they face, the goal threat they carry is always apparent. I expect them to produce another pulsating attacking display to brush aside visiting Udinese on Saturday evening.
NetBet have odds of 20/21 for Napoli to win Saturday’s game to nil. At almost evens, those odds are too good to turn down.
