Napoli vs Udinese Match Preview: Serie A Final Round

Napoli host Udinese at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples on 24 May 2026 in Serie A, Regular Season - 38. Napoli come into the final round sitting 2nd on 73 points, while Udinese are 10th with 50 points.

Napoli Availability

Napoli face issues in attack. R. Lukaku (Hip Injury) is sidelined and will not feature. David Neres (Ankle Injury) is doubtful and will require a late assessment. Crucially, leading scorer and joint-top assist provider R. Højlund (11 goals, 5 assists) is fully available, as is S. McTominay (10 goals, 3 assists), preserving Napoli’s main attacking core despite Lukaku’s absence.

Udinese Availability

Udinese have a longer absentee list. H. Kamara (Yellow Cards) is sidelined through suspension. N. Zaniolo (Back Injury) is sidelined, a major blow given his 5 goals and team-high 6 assists from midfield. A. Zanoli (Knee Injury) is sidelined in defense. J. Ekkelenkamp (Leg Injury) is doubtful. Key forward K. Davis (10 goals, 4 assists) remains available to lead the line.

Impact Summary

Napoli lose depth and physical presence up front with Lukaku sidelined, but retain most of their attacking output through R. Højlund and S. McTominay. Udinese, by contrast, are deprived of significant creativity with Zaniolo sidelined and Kamara suspended, placing even greater attacking responsibility on K. Davis.
