The Serie A is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as AC Milan take on Udinese on Saturday. AC Milan have been impressive this season and hold the upper hand going into this game.
Udinese are in 14th place in the Serie A standings and have been fairly inconsistent this season. The home side suffered a shock 3-1 defeat against Empli last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
AC Milan, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been exceptional this year. The Rossoneri eased past Salernitana by a 2-0 margin in their previous league game and will be confident ahead of this match.
Udinese vs AC Milan Head-to-Head
AC Milan have a good record against Udinese and have won 16 out of 34 matches played between the two teams. Udinese have managed 11 victories against AC Milan and will need to cut the deficit on Saturday.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in March this year and ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams wasted chances on the day and will need to be more clinical this weekend.
