Napoli takes Udinese in the last meeting of the eighth finals of the Cup of Italy. The two teams are in a completely different form and position at this moment. The hosts are on the third place, which managed to take after a series of good matches and victories. Udinese are on the 12th place, but are in bad shape and for the past 11 rounds of Serie A managed to win only one of them. Last year, Udinese defeated Napoli with the minimum of 1-0 and the previous three games between them were draws.
The hosts are in good shape and have a lot reasons for victory. Rafael Benitez already realized that they had no chance of more than a third place, after being defeated categorically from Juventus and Roma. However, good news are that they managed to defeat their direct competitor for the third place Lazio with 1-0 and now are two points in front of them, but still very close with an equal number of points remains the team of Sampdoria. Napoli won four of the last five games, losing only from Juventus. For today`s clash, Benitez will not be able to rely on the central defender Juan Camilo Zuniga, midfielder Michu, striker Lorenzo Insigne and the defender Faouzi Ghoulam is in the tournament for the African Nations Cup.
Guests came in this game after a negative series. Udinese conceded defeat from the team of Cesena in a meeting of the Italian Cup, but in the championship managed to record some successes. Andrea Stramaccioni likely to experiment with the starting line-up, but the team still missing some key players.
In this game everything is on the side of Napoli and even if they come out with the reserve composition, they should not have problems with Udinese.
