Napoli vs Udinese Preview: Serie A Final Round Matchup

Match Context

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 at least one confirmed absence in attack. R. Lukaku (Hip Injury) is sidelined. David Neres (Ankle Injury) is doubtful. With no further injuries or suspensions listed, key attacking leaders remain available: R. Højlund (11 goals, 5 assists) and S. McTominay (10 goals, 3 assists) are both expected to feature, preserving Napoli’s main goal threat for this fixture.

Udinese Availability

Udinese have a longer absentee list across midfield and defense. H. Kamara (Yellow Cards) is sidelined due to suspension. N. Zaniolo (Back Injury) is sidelined. A. Zanoli (Knee Injury) is sidelined. J. Ekkelenkamp (Leg Injury) is doubtful. Zaniolo’s absence is a major blow, as he has contributed 5 goals and 6 assists from midfield.

Impact Summary

Napoli lose penalty-box presence and depth with Lukaku sidelined, but retain their primary attacking output through Højlund and McTominay. Udinese, already on a negative goal difference, are hit harder: Zaniolo’s creativity and Kamara’s suspended presence reduce both their chance creation and balance in midfield ahead of this trip to Naples.
