Napoli – Udinese, Picks and Tips
Napoli is one of the teams fighting for the Serie A title. Although at one point they seemed to lose touch with the top two, Spalletti's side have come back into the leader's net and with a win this round, they can match AC Milan, at least for the moment. The team has had several moments of inconsistency this season, but in the end of the season, Napoli needs as many points as possible and therefore better games. Although not every good game made equals the three on the line! Napoli are three points behind the leaders and have just one point more than third-placed Inter. The battle for the Scudetto is shaping up to be an extremely heated one with 9 rounds to go before the end of the season. And obviously, whoever is more inspired will be crowned champion! Spalletti's side are also second in the table with 18 wins, one less than AC Milan. Their current form is not the best, with only two wins in their last five league games. Both away, 2-1 at Verona, and also by the same scoreline in the Italian capital against Lazio. But the team excels in away matches, being ranked 1st in this chapter. However, in home games, the team has disappointed at times, with only 26 points from 14 games played. And in their last 5 matches at Maradona Stadium, the team has only two wins. Can the hosts prevail in the Napoli-Udinese duel?
Udinese is at the opposite end. Sure, the Dacia Arena outfit aren't necessarily fighting for survival, but they're in a basement area where if they're not careful, Udine could find themselves in a horde. Gabriele Cioffi's side are not going through a bad period, with four games in a row without defeat. In the whole series, Udine has only one win and three draws. In the last 5 games, Udinese has suffered only one defeat, 0-4 away to Hellas Verona. In terms of victories, the team is more than deficient, with only 6 wins this season. On the other hand, Udine is one of the teams with the most draws in the league, 12, with only Genoa having more draws, 16. Plus another 9 defeats for the team in 14th place in Serie A. The team has a negative record, with 35 goals scored and 44 conceded. But Udine is the kind of team that puts on a show. Or at least there's no shortage of showmanship in the matches Cioffi's team is involved in. We only remember that duel with Lazio, 4-4, in perhaps the most spectacular match of the Serie A season! Away from home, Udine are not doing well. Only 11 points accumulated by Cioffi's pupils, who have only two wins collected. Their last win was at the end of December, 4-0 at Cagliari. Can the guests make a good match in the Napoli - Lazio clash?
