Preview: AC Milan Hosts Udinese in Serie A Clash

MILAN (Interstat) — AC Milan will look to leverage its recent dominance over Udinese and reverse a troubling run of form when the sides meet in a Serie A match at San Siro on Saturday.

The Rossoneri have won their last two meetings against Udinese, both on the road, including a 3-0 victory last September and a 2-1 win in November. Historically, Milan has lost just once in the last 16 league matches between the clubs.

However, Stefano Pioli’s squad enters this fixture amid a concerning slump. Milan is winless in its last three matches across all competitions, including a 1-0 loss to Napoli in Serie A and a shocking 1-0 defeat to lower-tier Real Calepina in a domestic cup match on Wednesday. Prior to that, they needed a late equalizer to draw with third-tier Villa Valle.

Udinese, managed by Andrea Sottil, arrives with a similarly stagnant attack. The Friulian club has been held scoreless in three consecutive league matches, including a 0-0 draw with Napoli on Monday. Their last Serie A goal came in a 2-0 win over Genoa on March 20. Udinese’s recent form has been inconsistent, with just one win in its last seven league outings.

A key tactical battle will unfold in midfield, where Milan’s playmakers will test an Udinese defense that has proven stubborn in recent weeks but vulnerable on the road. Milan will be desperate to rediscover its scoring touch in front of the home supporters.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the most likely outcome is a 2-1 victory for AC Milan.

Following this match, Milan faces a quick turnaround with a trip to Verona on April 19, followed by a heavyweight showdown with Juventus at San Siro on April 26. Udinese’s schedule remains congested, hosting Atalanta on April 14 before a visit from Parma on April 18.

Kickoff is set for 8:45 p.m. local time (1845 GMT) at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium.
