Serie A 2023-2024: Napoli-Udinese, the likely lineups

Napoli-Udinese, the probable formations

Napoli hosts Udinese in the only midweek round of Serie A 2023-2024. Kickoff at 8:45 p.m. at the 'Maradona'. The Azzurri, stopped by Bologna on the last day, must regain their success in the league, which has been missing since the second day. The Friulians, fresh from a home loss to the Viola, and still looking for their first league victory, do not fare any better.

Obligatory choices for Garcia in defense, with confirmation for Natan and Ostigard. On the left Mario Rui è favored over Olivera, while on the right Di Lorenzo will not be touched. Midfield led by Lobotka, in attack Politano and Kvaratskhelia on either side of Osimhen.

Sottil prepares some changes in midfield: on the outsides in Ferreira and Zemura instead of Ebosele and Kamara, while on the center-inside Lovric returns, at the expense of Payero. In attack Success can undermine Lucca, alongside Thauvin. Defense directed by Bijol, between the posts Silvestri.

Probable formations

NAPLES (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Ostigard, Natan, Mario Rui; Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Politano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia. All. Garcia

UDINESE (3-5-2): Silvestri; Perez, Bijol, Kristensen; Ferreira, Samardzic, Walace, Lovric, Zemura; Success, Thauvin. All. Sottil
