Napoli earned their biggest result to date in the last round overcoming an early deficit to beat Juventus 2-1. They have also taken down Venezia and Genoa.
The two-time Italian champion lost some momentum in the Europa League with a 2-2 draw against Leicester, but it can still be regarded as a decent result after a Victor Osimhen brace erased a two-goal deficit.
The Nigerian striker hasn’t yet found the back of the net in the league this season, but it shouldn’t take him too long to get off the mark. The 21-year-old had a solid debut season in Serie A with 10 goals in 24 outings and he’s on his way to becoming a household name in world football.
Udinese boast seven points for the year after drawing with Juventus and beating Venezia and Spezia. They have produced back-to-back clean sheets, which should give the team a fair bit of confidence ahead of a clash against a team that has been among the league’s best scoring sides for multiple seasons.
Luca Gotti’s team should know all about Napoli’s potent attack after giving up five goals in the most recent meeting between the two clubs. Udinese lost both fixtures against Napoli last season and they are winless in 11 games in the matchup across all competitions.
Udinese’s chances in the match will hinge on their defensive effort and the play of Roberto Pereyra and Gerard Deulofeu. The former Watford duo has produced half of the team’s six goals and Deulofeu in particular got off to a very good start to the season with goals in back-to-back games.
The former wonderkid has failed to fulfill his potential, but the Spaniard is still a quality player with very good technical ability and he can be a nightmare for any defense when he’s on his game.
Pereyra has never been a prolific attacking player, but he’s got a great work rate and an ability to open up space for his teammates. The 30-year-old Argentine has also proved himself as a very versatile player, which makes him an unpredictable figure on the pitch.
