Udinese should win this game easily.

Udinese is a team from Serie A who is improving a lot in the last games, including the draw at the weekend against the title contender AC Milan (1:1 conceding goal a 92’) or the draw a couple of weeks ago against Napoli (4:4). They have confidence and are well prepared for this match.

Coach Cioffi already said that will make some rotations, but the team has a very good attitude and surely will make a good performance today. Some starters like Success or Pussetto will be in the lineup today as they are suspended for the weekend’ game against Cagliari. Any important player is out of the list for today.

Udinese already beat Ascoli (3:1) in the previous round of the Coppa Italia, a better team than Crotone. Ascoli is 9th in Serie B, Crotone is 18th.

On the other hand we have Crotone, a very weak team who is in a bad mood as well (lost 8 of the last 9 games played + drew one). They were relegated to Serie B this year and the change has been so hard for them. They are sitting 18th on the table with only one victory after 17 rounds, having one of the worst defenses of the league with 31 goals conceded.

That’s why coach will make some rotations and give chances to some youngsters, as they are 100% focused in the league where they need to improve to avoid relegation. Some key players are out of the list for today, such as Molina, Benali, Mondonico, Mulattieri (topscorer of the team). Youngsters like D’Aprile and Massano are inside and probably will be starters.

They are in this round as they managed to beat Brescia (a team from Serie B) in penalties in the previous one. Suffered a lot as they drew 2:2 in the regular time.

Udinese has a much better squad, motivation and are in better form here. For Crotone this match is useless and they are in really bad form, I think they will have a huge lack of motivation for this fixture. Hosts should win this by at least 2 goals difference.

乌迪内斯是一支来自意甲的球队，在最近的几场比赛中进步很大，包括周末对阵冠军争夺者AC米兰的平局(92分1比1失球)和几周前对阵那不勒斯的平局(4:4)。他们有信心并且为这场比赛做好了充分的准备。

主教练乔菲已经说过会进行一些轮换，但是球队的态度很好，今天一定会有很好的表现。一些像Success和Pussetto这样的先发将会出现在今天的首发阵容中，因为他们将在周末对阵卡利亚里的比赛中停赛。任何重要的球员都不在今天的名单上。

乌迪内斯已经在上一轮意大利杯中以3:1击败了阿斯科利，一支比克罗托内更好的球队。阿斯科利在乙级排名第九，克罗托内排名第十八。

另一方面，我们有克罗内，一支非常弱的球队，他的情绪也很糟糕(最近9场比赛输了8场+ 1平)。他们今年降级到乙级，这对他们来说是如此艰难的改变。他们在17轮比赛中仅取得一场胜利，排在积分榜的第18位，他们是联赛中防守最差的球队之一，失球31个。

这就是为什么教练会做一些轮换，给一些年轻人机会，因为他们100%专注于联赛，他们需要提高，以避免降级。一些关键球员不在今天的名单中，比如莫利纳，贝纳利，蒙多尼科，穆拉蒂耶里(球队的最佳射手)。像D 'Aprile和Massano这样的年轻人在内线，可能会成为首发。

在本轮比赛中，他们通过点球击败了来自乙级的布雷西亚。当他们在常规时间2:2战平的时候，他们遭受了很多痛苦。

乌迪内斯有一支更好的队伍，更有动力，状态也更好。对于克罗内来说，这场比赛毫无用处，他们的状态真的很糟糕，我认为他们在这场比赛中会缺乏动力。东道主应该以至少2个球的差距赢得这场比赛。
