Serie A Showdown: Udinese vs Napoli Preview
Udinese will welcome Napoli to the Bluenergy Stadium as they look to bolster their Serie A survival hopes as the season reaches its climax.
Napoli have an outside chance of reaching the European places in Serie A, but it largely been a campaign to forget for last season’s champions.
Fixture Details – Date and Kick-off Time
Udinese vs. Napoli
- Date – May 6, 2024
- Kick Off Time – 19:45 BST
Venue – Where the Action Unfolds
The game will take place at Udinese’s Bluenergy Stadium in Udine, Italy.
Team Form – Recent Performances
Both teams enter the match in disastrous form, but it’s Udinese who need the points as they sit close to the bottom of the table.
The home team have only picked up one point from the last 15 available and they’ll be hoping to stop that rut when they welcome Napoli.
The visitors look like they have one eye on the end of the season following a stressful campaign and they only have one win in their last five games.
Tactical Battle – Managers’ Strategies Unveiled
Udinese have just appointed former Italian World Cup winner, Fabio Cannavaro as their manager, but it’ll be interesting to see how he approaches this game.
The legendary defender has needed time to get his methods across to previous teams, but time isn’t on his side, and he may have to take an attacking approach if he’s to keep Udinese in the league.
Francesco Calzona is also new to his role after only taking the helm at Napoli in February, but with the Naples side in the top half, he can afford to take risks.
This game means more to Udinese than Napoli and with pressure on the home side, Napoli may just soak up attacks and look to hit Udinese on the counter.
Key Players – Influential Figures on the Pitch
Despite underachieving this season, Napoli still have quality all over the pitch and they’ll be confident they can hurt Udinese.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen are ruthless in front of gaol when on top form and Udinese will need to keep both quiet.
For the home side, it’s been a poor season but Lorenzo Lucca, on loan from Pisa, has been a threat on occasion.
