Udinese v Napoli

Udinese are searching for their first win in the League with new coach De Biasi, Napoli are still unbeaten after 15 games. The home side are without defender Zapata and midfielder Sanchez, but their substitutes, Coda and Pepe, qualify. Asamoah will play in the midfield, with Pepe, Di Natale and Floro Flores in attack.

Napoli are without the important Santacroce and Lavezzi after long injuries, striker Quagliarella has recovered from the flu this week and will play. Coach Mazzarri will also have Campagnaro and Gargano both surviving light injuries.

Udinese could be tired after their match against Roma in the Italian Cup, but they need a win to stay away from the relegation zone. Napoli have a good defence (they have not conceded a goal for 6 games, that is overall 575 minutes), but they could be at risk against the dangerous attack of Udinese.

Inter seem to have no competitors: in this game they are favourites. Coach Mourninho can rely on 4-3-3 with Pandev, Milito and Eto’o in attack, but there are two important absentees in this match: injured Stankovic and suspended Sneijder. This could undermine the dreams of Inter in finalizing the offensive manouvres. Cagliari are in a state of emergency: they are without goalkeeper Marchetti, also Lopez, Pisano and suspended Cossu.

The visitors will have their new goalkeeper Agazzi, with Matri and Larrivey in attack.

The home side will be under pressure, Cagliari are able to surprise and they will play with a free mind. Inter are superior, but must pay attention to the possibility of a surprise. Also the home side have the pressure of being unbeaten at the Meazza pitch for many years.

Both teams to score at 1.85
