LiontipsUdinese vs Napoli. Prediction and Betting Tips for Serie A (September 20, 2021).
Command Analysis
Udinese lost several key players in the summer, Rodrigo de Paul undoubtedly being the most important one. But the club entered the new season very confidently. After winning 3:1 over Ascoli in Coppa Italia, Luca Gotti's team gave a heroic battle to Juventus at home in the first round. Udinese were 2 goals down but managed to level the score (2:2).
In the second round, Udinese left no chances for Venezia, crushing the Serie A newbies at home with a score of 3:0. In the last match, Udinese travelled to Spezia. The Little Eagles looked better in the game, but Le Zebrette snatched a 1:0 victory thanks to Lazar Samardzic's goal. Currently, Udinese are 6th in the table.
Napoli had a solid start in 2021/2022 Serie A. Luciano Spaletti has done a great job, and the team has won all three Serie A fixtures so far. In the first round, the Neapolitans went against Venezia and were considered the clear favorites. However, Victor Osimhen got a straight red card in the 22nd minute, and the chances of the opponents were leveled. But Napoli scored a 2:0 home win and then defeated Genoa away in the second round (2:1).
In the last round, the Neapolitans played against Juventus, who are not in their best form at the moment. Napoli conceded first but answered with two goals (2:1). That victory helped the team to get to the fourth line in the table. Last week, the Parthenopeans played at Leicester in the first round of the Europa League group stage. Napoli recovered from losing 0:2 and drew with the Foxes (2:2).
