Season ticket holders at Dacia Arena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Udinese languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Napoli will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

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 Udinese and Napoli.

It's quite the trip for Napoli when visiting Udinese as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.
