Match announcement
Udinese
ItalyCurrent form
Udinese has a very modest selection of players, with whom it is quite possible to solve the problem of finishing in the middle of the table, but it was hardly worth counting on more. Having given a strong start, the "zebras" gave the fans a reason for optimism, but gradually Kosta Runjaic team lost its form. At the moment, Udinese occupies ninth place in the table with 20 points and is eight points away from the relegation zone, the European Cup zone is seven points away.

SSC Napoli
ItalyCurrent form

With 32 points, the Neapolitans are in second place in the table and are only two points behind the leader Atalanta, but Inter, Fiorentina and Lazio are only one point behind.

Mazzocchi and Kvaratskhelia are injured.

Napoli, after two consecutive defeats to Lazio, which resulted in their exit from the Cup and loss of leadership, will definitely strive to rehabilitate themselves and there will clearly be no problems with motivation today. The Neapolitans are quite capable of taking their three points - Udinese is extremely unstable, inferior in class, and in the last 17 matches Napoli has not lost to the "zebras".
We think that the hosts have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1) on Napoli . This bet is offered with odds of 2.39
Bet on total
Napoli will obviously come for a win and will probably attack with great force from the first minutes – Udinese’s defensive problems may start already in the first half, the hosts are not known for their reliability at their goal. However, the Zebras have quality players up front, and Udinese traditionally plays boldly on their home field, the hosts are quite capable of responding with a goal of prestige.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.05
Bet on corners
Napoli are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the visitors should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners for Napoli. This bet is offered for 1.89
