Napoli vs Udinese Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips

Napoli enter this game as firm favourites as they are 25 points ahead of Udinese, as Antiono Conte’s side currently sit top of the table.

On top of this, Napoli have the best home record in Serie A, as they’ve won nine of their 11 matches at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, while Udinese’s away record is the 13th-best in Serie A having managed to win just three of their 11 matches on the road.

In terms of head-to-head record, Napoli and Udinese had met 19 times at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, with the home side emerging victorious 14 times, while the other five occasions resulted in four draws and one Udinese win.

When these two sides last met in Serie A in mid-December, Napoli ran out as 3-1 victors thanks to goals by Romelu Lukaku, Lautaro Giannetti (own goal) and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa after Florian Thauvin had given Udinese a shock first half lead.

Prediction: Napoli 2–0 Udinese

Sunday’s late Serie A kick-off sees top of the table Napoli host 10th-place Udinese, in a must-win game for Antonio Conte’s side.

Date: 09/02/2025

Location: Stadio Diego Armando Maradona

Time: 7:45pm

Conte has revitalised Napoli, as last season was a dismal one for the then Serie A champions, as they finished in a lowly 10th position with just 53 points to their name from 38 matches, a tally which they have already surpassed with 15 games to spare.

At present, Napoli are fighting for the league title, but, are in an intense fight with Inter Milan as they are just three points ahead of Simone Inzaghi’s side having played one game more while having an inferior goal difference.

Napoli are on a terrific stretch of league form, as they have won seven and drawn one of their last eight matches, putting them in good stead to fight for just for their fourth Scudetto. The league title is Napoli’s sole focus this campaign, as they failed to qualify for Europe last season and have already exited the Coppa Italia at the quarter-finals stage, doing so to Lazio on 5th December.

Udinese are 10th in the table with 29 points from 23 matches, which to date, is an improvement on last season, as the visitors finished 15th in Serie A during the 2023/24 campaign with 37 points from 38 games.

The visitors will be wary of their recent form, though, as they actually earned 16 of their 29 points during the first nine games of the league campaign. Like Napoli, Udinese are only participating in the league for the rest of the 2024/25 season, as they were knocked out of the Coppa Italia by Inter Milan in late December after previously progressing past Avellino (4-0) and Salernitana (3-1).

Napoli

Uruguayan full-back Mathis Olivera is the only injury doubt for Napoli heading into this game.

Udinese

Udinese have several injury doubts for this clash, as Maduka Okoye, Kingsley Ehizibue, Lautaro Giannetti, Isaak Toure and Keinan Davis all look set to miss Udinese’s trip to Napoli.

Napoli

Napoli have won four and drawn one of their last five matches following their 1-1 draw with AS Roma last time out - Antonio Conte will be disappointed with the draw at the Stadio Olimpico as Leonardo Spinazzola’s 29th-minute goal was cancelled out by a 92nd-minute strike from Angelino.

Prior to that draw, Napoli had earned victories over Juventus (2-1), Atalanta (3-2), Hellas Verona (2-0) and Fiorentina (3-0).

Udinese

The visitors ended their recent poor run of form with a much-needed 3-2 home win over Venezia thanks to goals by Lorenzo Lucca, Sandi Lovric and Iker Bravo.

In the run-up to that game, Udinese had suffered defeats to AS Roma (2-1) and Como (4-1) after two 0-0 stalemates with Atalanta and Hellas Verona.
