Victor Osimhen on course to break Napoli record in Serie A clash against Udinese

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen could become the third Napoli striker to score against a Serie A side in five consecutive meetings when his side plays Udinese on Sunday, Soccernet.ng reports.

Osimhen has been superb for Napoli this season, registering 14 goals and three assists in 22 Serie A appearances. The Nigerian attacker has struggled with injuries this season, but he has always delivered the goods for the Partenopeans whenever he has been in action.

Napoli take on Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium on Monday, and Osimhen will be expected to lead the line for them.

Ordinarily, it would be easy to call it a straight win for Napoli as they face an Udinese team that is battling relegation. However, because of their poor form this season, it is expected to be a tough one.

Nigeria striker Osimhen will be looking to add to his tally on Monday, and he could break a new record. According to Napoli Magazine, Osimhen will become the third player in Napoli’s history to score against a single Serie A side in five consecutive games. Also, he will become the first Nigerian striker to score against a Serie A side in five consecutive meetings.

This would be a significant push for Osimhen, and his other teammates will look to make that happen.
