While there are just three points on offer here, you get the feeling that this is a game that means much more than that for both teams. This is a big moment for them, they both need to turn their season around after what has been a poor few weeks.
Napoli, dubbed as title challengers at the start of the season, are without a win in their last six games, a run which has taken them out of the European places completely going into the action this weekend.
Udinese are struggling further down the table, and have a similar recent record with just one win from their last six. Before anyone plays this weekend, they are four points ahead of the relegation zone, so do have a cushion over those in trouble. However, this isn’t too big and if they keep playing how they are at the moment then eventually they could well find themselves down in trouble.
This is a difficult game to work out, with both teams playing well below their best at the moment. It would take a leap of faith to back Napoli at odds on at the moment, there is clearly something not right in their camp, and until they show signs of improvement then we will not be backing them at all.
Udinese are not playing too well either, so the best way to attack this game may be to back the draw because these two could well cancel each other out, with neither quite having the quality to actually go and win the game.
We are backing the draw as our main bet in this one, while our second bet is for under 2.5 goals to be in the game. We like a low scoring draw, but if either team does manage to win this one then we expect it to be by just a single goal.
