Serie A preview: Home supporters expecting a win when Napoli host Udinese

Competition: Italy Serie A
Date: sø 17.mars
Match begins: 17:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stadio San Paolo

Only a win will satisfy Napoli supporters in this Stadio San Paolo clash with Udinese, having a healthy lead in the Serie A table.

The hosts Napoli saw competitive action as recent as two days ago, playing in the Europa League. That game was an away game at Salzburg, so at least Napoli are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Napoli form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stadio San Paolo as Napoli has scored 29 goals to get 33 points from 14 games. The overall stats are 10-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).

In their previous game, the manager C. Ancelotti led his Napoli to a defeat in the Europa League match away at Salzburg. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio San Paolo. 1-1 away at Sassuolo before that.

Napoli can score goals in their home matches. After 27 matches they have found the net 29 times. Napoli have only conceded 9 in these games.

Udinese form and stats

The loot brought home from travels has not been plentiful for Udinese as they have only collected 7 points from their 12 away games. Udinese only has 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 4 draws. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Udinese's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Two away games in a row for Udinese, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-4 versus Juventus in the Serie A. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Bologna.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Udinese as they have only managed to score 9 times from 26 away games. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Udinese have conceded 19 goals on the road.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Udinese - Napoli 0-3. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 8 - 1 - 1 (Napoli wins - draws - Udinese wins).
