Napoli welcome Udinese to the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in the final round of the Serie A season, with the hosts targeting a top-two finish.

Napoli searching for consistency at home

Antonio Conte’s side returned to winning ways with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Pisa last weekend. However, Napoli have struggled for consistency recently, posting a mixed record of two wins, two draws and two defeats from their last six matches.

The Partenopei were unbeaten in their opening 15 home league games of the season but have since lost two of their last three at this stadium.

Romelu Lukaku will miss the final match of the campaign, while Matteo Politano returns from suspension. David Neres has resumed training after a long injury absence but may not be fully fit.

Udinese impressive away from home

Udinese have quietly built a strong away run, remaining unbeaten in their last five road matches while scoring at least twice in each of those games.

Their three-match unbeaten streak ended with a narrow 1-0 defeat against Cremonese last weekend, but the visitors have still looked dangerous going forward.

Nicolo Zaniolo, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp and Hassane Kamara are all unavailable for the trip to Naples.

Prediction

Napoli have far more at stake heading into the final round and should control large periods of the game. However, Udinese’s recent away scoring form suggests they are capable of troubling the hosts.

A combination of Napoli to win and both teams to score offers strong value.
