Como are navigating their first season in the Italian Serie A, and are still adjusting to the pace of the top flight, finding themselves in a relegation battle. Their home form is crucial to their survival hopes this season. They lack a consistent goal-scoring threat in attack and their defence has vulnerabilities. The core of their squad is relatively intact, with the forward line relying on the impact of Morata. They showed attacking promise against Napoli, earning a penalty, although they missed. Their goalkeeping performances have been inconsistent, and their defensive line has a low margin for error. Udinese have experienced a season of mixed fortunes. They briefly climbed into the top four early in the season, vying for a Champions League spot. Currently, with 26 points, they are 11th in the table, still holding onto hopes of qualifying for next season's European competitions. Their recent form has improved. In their league match on December 28th, they fought to a 1-1 draw against Lazio, showing great resilience with a late goal from Davis. In their last 10 matches, Udinese have won 2, drawn 4, and lost 4. They average 0.9 goals per game and concede 1.4 goals per game. Zaniolo also has the ability to decide matches, having scored a winning goal against Atalanta. Their central defensive partnership has shown a good understanding. Match Prediction: Udinese +0.75
