Napoli have been superior to Udinese so far, but every match begins at 0-0. Here's all the knowledge you require before kickoff:
- Napoli have the most scored goals (34) in Serie A
- Udinese have the most points from losing position (15) in Serie A
Udinese have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
It's no vacation for neither Napoli nor Udinese as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
