Napoli will welcome Udinese on Wednesday for their next Italian Serie A match. The hosts arrive for this fixture currently in seventh place in the standings, five points above Udinese in 18th. Napoli have been sluggish in their title defence and have managed only two wins in five matches. They have been defeated once and already find themselves seven points off the pace. Rudi Garcia’s men played out a drub 0-0 draw away to Bologna on Sunday. It was the first time since May that I Partenopei had failed to score, ending a 14-match stretch. Napoli have won only once in their last four matches and this victory, a 2-1 success against Braga came in the Champions League. But as they haven’t lost to Udinese in seven years, Gli Azzurri will be confident of success here. Napoli are unbeaten in 15 meetings with Udinese and have ended up victorious 13 times.

Udinese are yet to register a win in the league this season and have been defeated twice in their five outings. The latest defeat came on Sunday at home to Fiorentina as they went down 2-0. Before the loss, Andrea Sottil’s men had been unbeaten for three matches. A lack of goals has precipitated Udinese’s struggles. Le Zebrette have scored only once this season, which was in a 1-1 draw away to Salernitana on matchday two. I Bianconeri have registered two of their three points away from home. They will hope to do so again in their bid to climb out of the relegation zone.
