Napoli vs Udinese prediction and betting tips on February 9, 2025
Game Prediction
On February 9, 2025, in Round 24 of Serie A, Napoli will face Udinese. To maintain their lead in the standings, Antonio Conte's squad must secure a victory at home against a mid-table opponent with little motivation.
Our Prediction for Napoli vs Udinese
The Partenopei claimed the Serie A title in 2023, their first Scudetto since the Maradona era. However, Luciano Spalletti departed, seemingly anticipating the club’s collapse, as they tumbled down to 10th place last season. Meanwhile, Udinese remained unremarkable, finishing 15th with a modest 37 points—just enough to avoid relegation.
This summer, Kosta Runjaić took over at Udinese. He began optimistically, as many of his predecessors had, and even went on a four-match unbeaten run in January. However, recent defeats to Como and Roma highlighted the team's inconsistency, with their only win coming against bottom-placed Venezia.
Napoli, under Conte, quickly found stability. There were setbacks, including an early Coppa Italia exit and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's January transfer to PSG, but in Serie A, they climbed back into the title race. That said, they were held to a draw against Roma in their latest fixture.
Napoli averages 1.65 goals per match, while their defense remains solid, conceding just 0.7 goals per game. Udinese, by contrast, has a negative ratio, scoring 1.22 goals per match but conceding 1.57 on average.
