Where to watch Udinese vs. Napoli - prediction & lineups

Napoli on December 14, 2024, presents an intriguing clash that highlights both teams' current form and historical context. Despite facing recent challenges, Napoli remains a formidable opponent with a strong historical record against Udinese, having won 20 out of their last 38 encounters . In contrast, Udinese's recent victory against Monza provides them with momentum; however, they have not triumphed over Napoli since April 2016 . This backdrop sets the stage for a competitive match.

After defeating Monza in the last game, Udinese are now set to face Antonio Conte’s Napoli side who will be determined to bounce back in this game at the Bluenergy Stadium on Saturday in round 16 of the Serie A action. 

Udinese returned to winning ways in the last game against Monza, securing a 2-1 win over them to end their five-match winless streak. This win has seen them leapfrog Empoli to move into the ninth spot in the standings. They have accumulated 20 points from the opening 15 games and are now set to face Napoli, who lost their last two games. A win here can only build their season from here as they aim to climb up in the table.

Udinese possible starting lineup: Sava; Kristensen, Bijol, Giannetti; Ehizibue, Lovric, Karlstrom, Ekkelenkamp, Zemura; Thauvin, Lucca

Napoli possible starting lineup: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Buongiorno, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka; Politano, McTominay, Neres; Lukaku

Conte has had Udinese’s number, going unbeaten in his last 11 managerial duels against them in Serie A. He’s keen to keep his imperious run going in his first game against the Friulians in charge of Napoli, but we can envisage Runjaic’s side eking out a draw.

Monza 2-1 away from home. That was their first win in a run of six matches and they’ll be keen to build on it against the former champions.

Playing at home should offer the necessary bounce but Udinese are coming to this match having lost the last two home matches.

Napoli are also coming into this game off the back of two defeats. The first of those saw their elimination from the Coppa Italia and the second ensured they dropped from the league summit. Both losses were inflicted by Lazio in back-to-back outings.

Unfortunately, sources discussing team lineups and predictions do not specify broadcast information .
