Naples, the defending Serie A champions, will be looking to continue their winning ways when they take on Udinese at Stadio San Paolo on Sunday afternoon.
After suffering defeat against Inter Milan in their last match, Naples will be keen to bounce back and secure three points against Udinese. The Italian club has been in fine form this season, having won all four of their league games so far.
Udinese, on the other hand, have had a mixed start to the season, with two wins and two defeats. However, they did manage to secure a draw against Juventus in their latest game, which could give them some confidence heading into this weekend's clash.
Despite being in the same division as Napoli, Udinese is considered one of the weaker teams in Serie A. They have struggled to score goals this season, and their defense has been inconsistent. However, they do have a talented squad that can cause problems for any team.
For Naples, it will be crucial to keep up their defensive focus if they want to secure victory against Udinese. The Italian club has been strong defensively this season, conceding just six goals in their first four matches. They will need to maintain their defensive discipline and prevent Udinese from scoring to have any chance of winning the match.
In addition, Naples will also need to look out for any potential counterattacks from Udinese. The Italian club has a good attacking midfield trio, including Ivan Perisic, who has scored three goals in his last two games.
Overall, the match between Naples and Udinese promises to be a closely contested affair. Both teams will be looking to get off to a strong start and secure a win in front of their home fans. It remains to be seen whether Naples can maintain their defensive focus and secure a victory against Udinese.
