Napoli returned to winning ways with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Pisa last weekend. They have not been very consistent of late, with a 2-2-2 win-draw-loss record in their last six matches.
In fact, the hosts were unbeaten in their first 15 home league games but have lost two of three matches at this stadium since then.
Ahead of this skirmish, the Partenopei are three points above third-placed AC Milan and fourth-placed AS Roma. They can guarantee a top-two finish with a positive result here.
Belgian international Romelu Lukaku is ruled out of Napoli's final game of the season, with the forward out of favour with manager Antonio Conte, but Matteo Politano is back from a one-match suspension and should play a part for the team here.
David Neres, who has been out of action since January because of an ankle injury, has resumed training, but it remains to be seen if the Brazilian will be fully fit for Sunday's clash.
On the other hand, Udinese's three-game unbeaten run ended with a 1-0 home defeat against Cremonese.
With only one game remaining, the visitors are nine points behind the European spots and have nothing left to play for.
Coach Kosta Runjaic will miss the services of Nicolo Zaniolo, who has a leg injury; Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, with a broken leg; and Hassane Kamara, who will serve a one-match suspension for accumulated yellow cards.
