The Serie A is back in action with another set of important fixtures this week as AC Milan host Udinese at the San Siro on Wednesday. AC Milan have shown tremendous improvement this season and are the favourites to win this fixture.
Udinese are in 12th place in the Serie A standings at the moment and have a point to prove going into this fixture. The away side edged Fiorentina to a 1-0 victory over the weekend and will need to be at its best in this match.
AC Milan have managed to recover from their mid-season slump and emphasised their title bid with a 2-1 victory against AS Roma in their previous game. The Rossoneri are four points behind Inter Milan in the Serie A title race and cannot afford to lose this game.
AC Milan vs Udinese Head-to-Head
AC Milan have a good record against Udinese and have won 24 matches out of a total of 47 games played between the two teams. Udinese have defeated AC Milan on 16 occasions and can trouble their opponents in this fixture.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in November last year and ended in a 2-1 victory for AC Milan. Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored on the day and will likely play an important role in this match.
