Napoli vs Udinese

Napoli collected 55 points in 24 matches in this league and only three times they had more in a single Serie A season in the three-point-per-win era: 56 in 2015/16, 63 in 1017/18, and 65 in 2022/23.

Napoli scored in their last 21 Serie A matches against Udinese, the longest streak of matches with at least one goal scored against a single opponent in their history in the top flight.

Udinese avoided an away defeat against Napoli in Serie A for the first time since December 2013 (3-3 in that case, with Francesco Guidolin on the bench), breaking a streak of 10 consecutive knockouts at the Maradona Stadium in the tournament.

Napoli are unbeaten in their last 17 Serie A matches against Udinese (W14 D3); in their top-flight history the Partenopei have only enjoyed a longer such streak against four teams before: Cagliari (18), Cesena (26), Como (18) and Roma (19).

Napoli have won each of their last 10 Serie A home games against Udinese, scoring an average of 3.1 goals per match in the period. In the competition, they’ve collected more wins in a row on their own patch only against Como (12) and Hellas Verona (11).

After recording seven successive wins in Serie A, Napoli drew their last game (1-1 against Roma) and could draw back-to-back matches for the first time since the last two matchdays of last season, under Francesco Calzona.

Napoli have kept a clean sheet in six home games out of their 11 played in Serie A this season: no team has recorded more than them (also six both Juventus and AC Milan). The last time the Partenopei collected more in their first 12 home games was in 2018/19.

After three draws and two defeats, Udinese won last time out in the league (3-2 against Venezia) and could record back-to-back wins for the first time in the competition since last August-September (three in that case).
