AC Milan vs Udinese – Match preview and team news

AC Milan team news

AC Milan enters this clash with a tactical shift, as Massimiliano Allegri is expected to deploy a 4-3-3 formation to address recent scoring struggles.

Striker Santiago Gimenez is back as well after recovering from an ankle injury and is expected to start. Supporting him in attack, Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao are both expected to start.

In defence, major changes are brewing; Koni De Winter and Strahinja Pavlovic are tipped to start in central defence, which could see Fikayo Tomori move to the bench.

Matteo Gabbia has also recovered from his own injury issue and is expected to be included in the squad, although he is most likely to sit on the bench.

Udinese team news

Udinese, under Kosta Runjaic, is expected to stick to a disciplined 3-5-2 system designed to frustrate Milan’s attackers.

The squad welcomes back Keinan Davis, who is projected to start upfront alongside the creative Nicolo Zaniolo.

However, the visitors are grappling with several absences that test their squad depth. Adam Buksa is out with a calf issue, while Jordan Zemura misses out due to a hamstring strain.

Alessandro Zanoli is sidelined long-term with a cruciate ligament injury. In the middle of the pitch, the trio of Jakub Piotrowski, Jesper Karlstrom, and Jurgen Ekkelenkamp will be tasked with disrupting Milan’s rhythm.

Form

AC Milan

Recent form of AC Milan has been inconsistent, recording three wins and three losses in their last six outings. A disappointing 1-0 defeat to Napoli in their last match caused them to drop from second place as Napoli overtook them to take the second spot, leaving them nine points behind leaders Inter.

Udinese

They have shown improved stability recently, being unbeaten in their last two matches, including a 0-0 draw against Como. Their last five games include two wins, two draws, and just one loss, reflecting a more disciplined but occasionally sterile attacking performance.

Predicted lineups

AC Milan: Maignan; Athekame, De Winter, Pavlovic, Bartesaghi; Fofana, Modric, Rabiot; Pulisic, Gimenez, Lea

Udinese: Okoye; Kristensen, Kabasele, Solet; Ehizibue, Ekkelenkamp, Karlstrom, Atta, Kamara; Zaniolo, Davis
