Udinese hosts Crotone in round 12 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 15th at Dacia Arena (Udine)
Udinese used to be one of the most interesting Italian football clubs in terms of the game, but now it has become the dull middle peasant of the elite. Luca Gotti's men take a place in the middle of the standings, having a comfortable lead from the relegation zone. Udinese has recently lost to Fiorentina in the Italian Cup, so it will be able to focus on league matches. In recent years, the team has maintained a clear balance between experienced footballers and talented youth. Ten years ago, Udinese was famous for discovering young performers. Now the coaches of the Zebras rest their hopes on Molina, Mandragora, and Pussetto. De Paul, Musso, and Rodrigo Becao are at the peak of their powers. Experienced Roberto Pereira, Okaka, and Arslan look good.

The newcomer of Serie A seeks to gain a foothold in the elite, but the team is unlikely to accomplish its tasks through a mere desire. Now Giovanni Stroppa's men occupy the last line in the standings. This situation looks fair for the Sharks, who appeared to be the weakest team at the start of the national championship. Crotone spent 10 rounds without a single victory. Perhaps the situation for the team will change after the quality work in the winter transfer market. Now the team doesn’t have many players that match the level of the Italian elite. One can single out Simi, Magallan, Reca, Petriccione, and Luperto. Many positions in the squad sag in terms of skills and need serious strengthening.
Before the start of the match, the hosts look like clear favorites. Udinese has a strong talent pool and a well-organized game. Gotti's players are rushing to the top half of the standings. For Udinese, the game with an outsider will be an excellent chance to score three points. Crotone is not ready to play in the top division, where the team lacks the depth of the roster and the organization.
Prediction for the match: Udinese to win
