Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin expects a reaction from his team after their 2-1 home loss to Roma at the weekend.
Saturday's defeat was Udinese's second consecutive loss, which allowed Lazio to overtake them and move into fourth position in the standings. And, the top four teams in Serie A will qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season.
"We must get back on track immediately," Guidolin said. "I don't want any excuses from my players and I don't think our recent setbacks will affect the team from a psychological point of view.
"We were naive against Roma, but I'm sure my players will learn from the mistakes they made. I will speak to my players and we will work hard to prepare for a difficult game in Naples this weekend."
Udinese face second-place Napoli at the San Paolo stadium on Sunday. The Bianconeri now lie one point behind Lazio and three points clear of sixth-place Roma.
"We always knew that Roma would be involved in the battle to finish fourth," Guidolin said. "There are still six games remaining and anything can happen."
