Not many expected Udinese against AC Milan to be fourth versus fifth, but that is the state of play heading into Saturday’s meeting.
Milan have played Udinese 107 times across their history in competitive fixtures, with a record of 47 wins, 37 draws and 23 defeats. However, since the turn of the century, the Bianconeri have more wins at home in this fixture than vice versa, showing it has been an unhappy hunting ground.
The Rossoneri did win on their last two visits to the Friuli, including a 4-0 rout last season. Our pre-match preview has the latest team news and some further insight on Kosta Runjaic’s side, while below are the best stats.
