Udinese, Recent FormUdinese will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 away win against Empoli. During that encounter they had 38% possession and had 14 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 17 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Andrea Sottil will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. He will be concerned about his leaky defence after they have failed to keep a clean sheet at home for 9 games in a row. It's been rare for their fans not to have had something to shout about this season, with their team scoring in 11 out of 12 home games.
There will be mixed feelings from Bianconeri Friuliani, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
AC Milan, Recent FormAC Milan manager Stefano Pioli will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Salernitana. They came away from that fixture with a 64% share of the possession and clocked up 24 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Salernitana, who managed 6 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that Pioli will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 4 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They have been enduring a less than rewarding period of form away from home at the moment, during which they have lost 3 and only picked up 2 wins from their last 6 matches.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for AC Milan, Rafael Leão will be looking to add more goals against Udinese in this match.
AC Milan recorded a 4-2 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
The i Rossoneri defence has struggled against Udinese in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 8 games.
Milan have certainly shown themselves to be resilient opponents against Udinese in the league, having gone unbeaten against them in their last 6 meetings.
Zlatan Ibrahimović has scored in each of Milan's last league game against Udinese.
With only Gerard Deulofeu (Knee) and Enzo Ebosse (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Andrea Sottil will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Milan manager Stefano Pioli ahead of this clash, with Junior Messias (Thigh) missing out, which gives Pioli a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
