Udinese continues to astonish. In the previous round the Friulians faced Milan at San Siro. Already in the 26th minute the Friulians took the lead thanks to an own goal by Bartesaghi. The Rossoneri tried to equalize, but instead they conceded a second own goal. With such an advantage, the Bianconeri found it much easier. The team pressed up to its own goal and, thanks to Okoye's actions, kept it intact. Moreover, in the 71st minute Atta scored the third goal for his team and turned the score into a rout. In the previous round the Friulians earned a point against Como. Unlike the Milan match, the clash against Fabregas's team was a clean sheet. Parma earned two decent draws. In the last round the Crusaders faced Napoli. Sensationally, Parma went ahead already in the first minute. The Gialloblu chose the only correct tactic given the development of events to hold the lead. They managed to keep their goal intact until the 60th minute. However, MacTominey's goal remained the final one. The round before Parma played Lazio to the same score. The first round match ended with an away win for Udinese. A quick goal was scored by Zaniolo, but the first half was even. The result of the match was decided by a red card to Troilo on the 64th minute and Davis's goal from the spot. It is worth noting that Gialloblu are quite good away from home. Thus, away from home the Crusaders trailed in only seven of 16 matches. Also important, only twice in the last ten away games did Cuesta's charges fail to collect points. Udinese, statistically, show results better than they should. Thus, according to the xGA metric, the Parma players conceded 7.24 goals fewer than they should have. At the same time, the team earned 5.22 points more than expected if you believe xPTS. The situation in the standings does not weigh heavily on the visitors, but their lead over 18th place is not that large. The end of the season for the Friulians is difficult: Inter, Roma, Como and Sassuolo. No one says these games will end in defeat for the Crusaders, but a buffer needs to be built in advance. Udinese is unlikely to move far from mid-table, so the team has less motivation. Yes, the wins over Genoa and Milan were well deserved. But at the same time they could have a negative psychological effect. Parma is very likely to pick up points at the Stadio Friuli.
