Napoli vs Udinese Tips & Preview - Leaders to prevail
- Napoli aiming to maintain their lead atop Serie A against Udinese.
- Napoli unbeaten in their last 8 matches, but defensive issues persist.
- Udinese looking to build on their recent win, strong in attack with defensive challenges.
Napoli vs Udinese
Napoli will look to maintain their lead over the chasing pack as they host Udinese in an Italian Serie A fixture on Saturday.
The visitors are aiming to build on a win last time out and strengthen their place in the top half of the table. However, they should struggle against Napoli, who are playing with confidence at the moment and are expected to earn a home win.
Napoli Form
Napoli dropped points last time out in Serie A as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Roma after Leonardo Spinazzola's effort was cancelled out by a late equalizer. However, the good news is that Inter Milan also stumbled, leaving Napoli three points clear at the top of the table having played a game more.
Avoiding defeat at Roma means Napoli are unbeaten in their last eight Serie A matches claiming seven wins in that run. Antonio Conte’s men have also won eight of their last 10 home matches in the league.
Romelu Lukaku has nine Serie A goals this season and leads an attack that has scored in the last eight Serie A matches. However, the hosts appear to be conceding more lately and are without a clean sheet in the last three matches. Five of the last seven fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.
Udinese Form
Udinese come into Saturday’s clash off the back of a 3-2 victory over Verona in their previous Serie A fixture. They had thrown away a two goal lead and looked to be heading for a draw before Iker Bravo struck the winner six minutes from time.
That was a vital win for Udinese, who had lost their last two matches and were on a five match winless run in Serie A. They have done some good work on their recent travels and are unbeaten in four of their last five away matches, although they were beaten 4-1 at Como in their previous fixture on the road.
As seen in the win over Verona, Udinese have no problems going forward, scoring in their last seven away matches. However they have also conceded in six matches in that run while five of those fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.
Head to Head
Napoli have the edge against Udinese and are unbeaten in the last 15 matches, claiming 12 wins in that run. Napoli earned a 3-1 away victory in the reverse fixture back in December, with Lukaku among the goals.
Verdict
Napoli have been in good form lately and given their impressive record against Udinese, should claim the upper hand here. The hosts are unlikely to keep a clean sheet here, so a home win could see Saturday's match produce over 2.5 goals.
Romelu Lukaku has a fine scoring record against Udinese, with eight goals in 13 appearances playing for Inter Milan, Roma and Napoli. The striker was on target in the reverse fixture and is expected to haunt the visitors once again.
