Napoli Aims for Second Place in Season Finale
24 May
Summary
- Napoli looks to secure second place in Serie A in their final match.
- Udinese struggles with a 16-game winless streak at Napoli's stadium.
- Napoli holds a strong historical advantage in head-to-head meetings.
Napoli is set to conclude their 2025-26 Italian Serie A campaign on Sunday against Udinese. Currently in second place, Napoli needs a draw to secure the runner-up position, three points ahead of AC Milan and AS Roma. The team has secured 22 wins from 37 matches, but their recent home form has seen two defeats in their last three outings at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Udinese, sitting 10th, is aiming for a top-half finish. They recently suffered a 1-0 loss but had previously been on a good run with four wins and two draws in their last seven games. However, they face a significant historical challenge, as they have not won at Napoli's stadium in their last 16 visits since April 2011, a streak that includes 14 losses and two draws.
Napoli has a commanding historical record against Udinese, winning 21 of their last 41 encounters. The home side also boasts the third-best home record in the league this season. Despite Udinese's current five-game unbeaten away run, Napoli is favored to win their final match and end the season on a high note.
