Serie A 2024-2025: Udinese-Napoli, the likely lineups

The probable lineups

Do not deceive the standings: that of Napoli on the Udinese field will not be an easy trip for Antonio Conte’s team, grappling with a moment of decline coinciding with the two consecutive defeats, between championship and Coppa Italia, against Lazio. The current second force in the league will face the Bianconeri coming off Monday’s 2-1 win over Monza, which revived Kosta Runjaic’s men after a negative period.

The Croatian-born German coach è is ready to deploy a lineup with interesting offensive potential: 4-3-1-2 is the planned form, with Iker Bravo and Lorenzo Lucca supported by Florian Thauvin, deployed on the three-quarter line. In defense, a four-man line, with Ehizibue and Zemura on the right and left respectively.

Conte's idea è however, that of a two-midfield lineup, Anguissa and Lobotka, to support the three-quarter composed of Politano, McTominay and David Neres. In attack, Romelu Lukaku is aiming for a return to goal, which he has been missing since last Nov. 24 (1-0 against Roma).
