Serie A: Udinese vs Napoli – Probable line-ups and where to watch | OneFootball

Napoli will have to do without their star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, as they’ll look to bounce back from their third Serie A defeat by defeating Udinese.

It kicks off at 18:00 CET (17:00 CET) at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine.

The Georgia international sustained a knee injury and is expected to be sidelined for nearly a month, meaning coach Antonio Conte will give David Neres his second league, as he is set to play on the left of his side’s front three.

There shouldn’t be more changes, though, as the former Chelsea coach should rely on his traditional setup, with playmaker Stanislav Lobotka flanked by Zambo Anguissa and Scott McTominay.

Romelu Lukaku remained scoreless in the Partenopei’s last two games and hopes to return to scoring after once again being criticised for another lacklustre display against Lazio.

Alongside Thiago Motta’s Juventus, Napoli are the team who have conceded the least goals in Serie A, mostly thanks to a solid defensive partnership between Alessandro Buongiorno and Amir Rrahmani, who will lead the back-four.

Udinese’s goalkeeper Maduka Okoye is out injured and will be replaced by Răzvan Sava, while Lorenzo Lucca and Florian Thauvin will make the Bianconeri’s attacking duo.
