Napoli vs Udinese tips and predictions

Napoli look to build on recent showings

With 5 points between them, it's seventh placed Napoli versus 18th placed Udinese in this Serie A clash.

Another exhibition of the home side's crowd-pleasing football will be decisive during this clash. It's generally agreed that when these sides get underway they're bound to produce plenty of chances.

Napoli should ease past Udinese. They're big favourites and rightly so.

The momentum is with Napoli. The hosts have logged 13 home wins from their last 20 games while the visitors have lost 6 of their last 10 matches home and away. They've seemingly lost this one too. The home side will need to make some major mistakes to lose this. If they put in a shift they don't have much to fear.

These home players are making the most of a recent run of form and they've been solving a lot of problems. Gli Azzurri have scored two or more goals in 7 of their recent 9 matches.

In front of goal, the visitors have been underwhelming. They've been goalless in 7 of their last 10 matches. So the hosts will have plenty of swagger about them. Especially if Udinese are going to stumble in front of goal.

Napoli have won 13 of the last 15 fixtures between these sides.

Napoli are the clear favourites and it's possible they just don't give anything away. It isn't a strong view and it's not the most exciting of forecasts in today's fixture list but the No BTTS bet could be sensible. Regardless of what they face at the other side of the pitch, expect Gli Azzurri to put this challenge behind them and move on to the next one.

Much of the hosts' recent success has been built primarily on their strong attacking play and that's why they will get the win.
