Udinese vs Napoli Betting Tips

Udinese welcomes Napoli to Udine on Sunday with both sides looking to end a run of disappointing results.

Indeed, neither side comes into game week 17 of Serie A in good form with just 1 between the pair in their last 5 league matches each.

Hosts Udinese, while showing some signs of improvement earlier in the season, have now failed to win any of their last 5 in Serie A, while just 2 wins have been achieved in their last 8 at the Dacia Arena, a run which has seen them lose 4 of their 7 home matches so far this season.

Last time at the Dacia Arena, Udinese were humbled 2:0 by Benevento bit did respond well by claiming a decent point in an entertaining 2:2 draw at Bologna this past Wednesday Luca Gotti´s side in 13th spot with 16 points from 15 games played.

While Napoli arrives in Udine as odds on 1.85 favourites, the recent form would suggest that price is not worth taking on with Gattuso´s side winning just 1 of their last 5, while suffering 3 losses at the hands of Inter, Lazio and most recently, and embarrassingly, at home to newly-promoted Spezia. They had managed to win 8 of their first 10 games this season.

Of course, Udinese´s poor form forms the basis for that price, but the hosts do have a habit of making life difficult for the divisions better sides, and I fancy BTTS with that outcome occurring in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these two sides and in 3 of the last 4 meetings in Udine. Napoli has managed to win in 3 of those 4 matches but not in the most recent contest, a 1:1 draw in December 2019.

Napoli has not kept a clean sheet in any of their last 7 matches (all comps). In contrast, Udinese has already found the target in matches against stronger opponents in Lazio, Juventus, and Milan. I fancy they can do it again here against a Napoli side likely to be somewhat shaken following that painful loss to 10-man Spezia on Wednesday.

Udinese vs Napoli Correct Score Prediction

4 of the last 5 meetings between these two sides saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored, and I fancy that outcome here with Udinese capable of scoring a surprise 2:2 draw.
