The Partenopei may have won the title before a ball is kicked here but these Udinese vs. Napoli predictions suggest it will be another three points either way. But the Zebrette will hope that their visitors have little to play for, as they look to consolidate a top ten finish.
Udinese vs. Napoli odds
1 – Napoli to win– 8/9
2 – Both teams to score – 11/14
3 – Over 2.5 goals scored – 13/15
4 – Giacomo Raspadori to score anytime – 12/5
5 – Udinese to win – 16/5
Napoli prepare to travel to the Dacia Arena knowing that if results go their way at the weekend they could already be Serie A champions. But it could still be Udinese standing in the way of their first Scudetto in over 30 years.
Andrea Sottil’s side have been solid this season but will be hoping that Napoli have already achieved their ultimate goal before kick-off. The visitors have been nearly unstoppable all campaign and it would be hard to see anything other than a Napoli win should the result still matter to Luciano Spalletti’s side.
As a result, the outcome of this match largely depends on how Sunday’s football plays out. Given the expected celebrations in the streets of Naples if they lift the trophy at the weekend, Udinese may well have the advantage. A wager in this case for the home side to take all three points could provide an upper hand for the bookmakers.
What is certain in either case is that the game is expected to provide plenty of entertainment. The visitors will either be fully motivated and playing at their very best or will be relaxed and potentially vulnerable against a well-organised Udinese side. In this situation, a bet on both teams to score or over 2.5 goals score could well pay off.
The reverse fixture was certainly full of goals, ending 3-2 to Napoli thanks to goals from Victor Osimhen, Eljif Elmas and Piotr Zielinski. This game could see key players such as Osimhen and Zielinski rotated though. With just a few day’s rest between games, Spalletti will want to avoid any injuries and there could be little to play for the visitors.
The coach may therefore bring in the likes of Giacomo Raspadori, hero against Juventus, up front allowing Osimhen to rest. Even so, with his confidence high, we back the Italian forward to score anytime against Udinese.
