Udinese Team News
Udinese has now profiled itself as a win-to-nil or lose-to-nil team, or at least that was the case in the last five rounds, with the exception of the most recent home game against Genoa that was lost 1-2. In other four, Udinese won against Parma and Atalanta, and lost to Bologna and Roma.
The trend is obvious - Udinese will do well when the opportunity presents itself and the opponent isn't too difficult. On the other hand, against a strong team, Udinese won't be able to do anything at all. The flawless 0-3 victory of AC Milan from earlier in the season comes to mind.
Udinese has a 5-3-6 record and is sitting on the 11th spot on the league table.
Napoli Team News
There was no team that was more frustrated with Milan overturning Torino's 2-3 lead than Napoli, as it was Napoli that lost the top of the table with those two Pulisic goals. Milan and Napoli are tied at 31 points but the Rossoneri have a slightly better goal difference.
Napoli is doing incredibly well. In their last three matches, they played against Atalanta, Roma and Juventus -- and won all three. This is against all odds, as this side is suffering from a serious lack of midfielders due to injuries. Conte changed the formation so it works with only two proper midfielders, and it worked like a charm. Even the goalscoring problems were solved.
Probable Lineups
Udinese (3-5-2): Okoye - Goglichidze, Kabasele, Solet - Zanoli, Ekkelenkamp, Karlstrom, Atta, Kamara - Davis, Zaniolo. Coach Runjaic.
Napoli (3-4-2-1): Milinkovic-Savic - Beukema, Rrahmani, Buongiorno - Di Lorenzo, Elmas, McTominay, Olivera - Neres, Lang - Hojlund. Coach Conte.
Napoli is still in an injury crisis, but Lobotka, Lukaku, Gilmour and Anguissa could be back soon enough.
The Betting Market
Napoli is a 1.86 favourite, and it is actually a good price, considering we got 1.66 when AC Milan came to visit, and 2.53 when Bologna did.
According to the bookmakers it's almost certain the game will be low-scoring, as the price on Under 2.5 Goals is 1.57. Both Teams To Score: NO carries a slightly higher price of 1.66.
The Betting Verdict
It's logical to assume that Napoli will continue a winning streak against Udinese after they've won against the three top sides. They are still chasing the top spot so there's no room for relaxation, and whatever Conte is doing recently is producing results. Udinese won against Atalanta when they were in poor form, but in most other matches failed to make their efforts count. Let's go with Napoli, the price is valuable.
