After defeat to AS Roma, Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin accepts the battle for fourth place is again up for grabs.
The Friulani were unbeaten in 2011, but have now lost two on the bounce against Lecce and Roma.
"Sadly, now the race for fourth is wide open again," said Guidolin. "If we had more experienced players, we'd have clammed up on the 1-1 result, but it's not in our nature.
"It's also true some of our players are not at their best due to fitness issues, so we weren't as sharp as usual."
