We see this kind of teams making surprising starts but the most important thing is to be consistent of course. Udinese might not be able to maintain a great performance for a very long time. Especially if the big teams in the league start to control the top positions Udinese's job will be much harder to fight for top 4. Even if they somehow fight for the sixth position for a spot in the Europa Conference League it would be a big success for them. Because they finished the previous season at the 12th position.
