Napoli vs Udinese Preview: Serie A Clash at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona

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 league round sitting 2nd on 73 points, while Udinese are 10th with 50 points.

Napoli Availability

Napoli have one confirmed absentee and one fitness concern. R. Lukaku (Hip Injury) is sidelined. David Neres (Ankle Injury) is doubtful. Lukaku’s absence trims depth in the central attacking positions, but crucially Napoli’s leading scorers remain available: R. Højlund has 11 goals and 5 assists, while S. McTominay has contributed 10 goals and 3 assists from midfield. Their presence preserves much of Napoli’s attacking threat despite the setback.

Udinese Availability

Udinese face a heavier absentee list. H. Kamara (Suspension – Yellow Cards) is sidelined. N. Zaniolo (Back Injury) is sidelined. A. Zanoli (Knee Injury) is sidelined. J. Ekkelenkamp (Leg Injury) is doubtful. Zaniolo, with 5 goals and 6 assists, is a major blow to Udinese’s creativity between the lines.

Impact Summary

From Napoli’s side, the core attacking output (Højlund’s 11 goals and McTominay’s 10) is intact. Udinese, however, lose a key creator in Zaniolo, placing greater responsibility on K. Davis, who has 10 goals and 4 assists, to carry the visitors’ attacking load.
