Udinese
Udinese has yet to recover from the poor start to this season and continues to hover on the brink of relegation to Serie B. The team has not won in almost two months and has drawn exactly half of their matches. Legendary coach Fabio Cannavaro is tasked with saving the situation, but he has very little time. Udinese is only two points away from the safety of 17th place, and besides playing against Napoli, they will face direct competitors such as Lecce, Empoli, and Frosinone. Looking at the calendar, it can be said that not all is lost yet.
Napoli
The reigning champions of Italy are on the verge of a glaring failure. Their current ninth place position and five-point gap from the European qualification zone cast doubt on Francesco Calzona's future at the helm of the team. Additionally, the Italian also coaches the Slovakian national team, which does not bode well for the extension of his contract with Napoli. It seems that Napoli will get a new coach in the summer, and among the top contenders for this position is Antonio Conte.
Udinese possible starting lineup:
Okoye; Ferreira, Bijol, Kristensen; Ehizibue, Zarraga, Walace, Samardzic, Kamara; Pereyra; Lucca
Napoli possible starting lineup:
Meret; Di Lorenzo, Jesus, Rrahmani, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka, Cajuste; Politano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia
Udinese vs Napoli Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

*Udinese have picked up only two points in their last 15 matches against Napoli in Serie A and have conceded a total of 41 goals in these matches.

*Napoli have won only four of their eight matches against teams starting the game in the relegation zone in Serie A so far this season.

Prediction: Udinese 1-1 Napoli
Having drawn half of their league matches this season, Udinese could end up in Serie B as a result of failing to finish off ailing opponents. Napoli are often guilty of being wasteful in the final third, too, so a frustrating stalemate could be on the cards.
