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.
I agree about this we have many times things like these as few teams perform very good in early rounds of season and then suddenly lost their momentum and dropped badly like we have in last season from Atlanta which was surely strong contender for staying into last four bad in last few rounds lost badly and dropped out from top six but in this season we have few surprises like three top ranked teams where were supposed to fight for title are currently staying at ranks six, seven and eight which are surely shocking results even we have very long time, but their performance is not as expected.
With Napoli, Atlanta and Udinese are at top which are also surprising with no one expecting from Napoli and Udinese they can do performance like this but now after break we are having no good changes in positions hopefully after World Cup things could be much better and teams will do better for staying at higher or going to top for having better results at the end of this season.
