✅ Stats before the game: Napoli have won 12 of their last 13 matches with Udinese in Serie A (D1) and have scored at least two goals in all of their last six league games against the Friulians. Udinese’s last home win against Napoli in Serie A dates back to 3 April 2016, with Luigi De Canio on the bench (3-1 with brace from Bruno Fernandes and goals from Thereau, while Higuain scored for the Azzurri) – from then five Campanian successes and a draw (1-1 in December 2019). In the last tricolor year (1989/90), Napoli narrowly won the first leg against Udinese at home (1-0) and then drew in the second leg in Udine (2-2, with goals from Maradona and Corradini for Campania, De Vitis and Mattei for Friuli). At the end of this match, Napoli could mathematically be crowned champion of Italy with five games to spare: only two teams in the era of three points for a win have succeeded so far (Juventus 2018/19 and Inter 2006/07). Luciano Spalletti – who boasts 117 Serie A benches in his career at the helm of Udinese – at 64 years and 58 days old, Thursday 4 May could become the oldest coach to win a single-group Serie A Scudetto.
👉 Lineup Udinese (3-5-1-1): Silvestri; Becao, Bijol, Perez; Ehizizue, Samardzic, Walace, Lovric, Udogie; Pereyra; Nestorovski.
👉 Lineup Napoli (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Kim, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka, Ndombele; Elmas, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia.
