Insights:

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 busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Napoli and Udinese.

Napoli form and stats

Only two Serie A home games for Napoli so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

The home team returns to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona after drawing with Bologna (placed 11th) on their last time out; the game ended 0-0. A painful moment in the game against Bologna was the missed penalty kick from Osimhen in the 72nd minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome. Raspadori, a striker, was the top player for the team in that match, receiving a rating of 7.63 (out of 10). Raspadori hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 21 successful passes (of 25 total).

Before that game, a fine away win at Sporting Braga. A Champions League match. Napoli are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found 12 matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won 8, drew 3 and lost 1.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Napoli as they are travelling to their away game against Lecce in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.

Napoli has scored {3 goals} so far and conceded {2 goals} from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Udinese form and stats

Things could have gone better for Udinese in their Serie A away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right.

The attacking players of Udinese have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 303 minutes.

Home advantage was not enough for Udinese in their previous game as they lost hosting Fiorentina, 0-2. That defeat was their first after three consecutive league matches winning points. Midfield player Ebosele was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.1/10. Ebosele hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.

A 0-0 draw at Cagliari's stadium before that.

A new game in only four days for Udinese, the Serie A home match versus Genoa. Busy days.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Udinese has managed {1 goals} and let in 1 from 2 matches.

Head 2 Head

Napoli have put together a sequence of 15 consecutive matches without defeat (13-2-0) when facing Udinese.
