The Udinese vs Milan match will be played on Sunday, January 29, at the Dacia Arena, Udine. Udinese is currently 12th on the table with 25 points, while Milan is currently 7th with 37 points and they have a game in hand.
In their previous 10 meetings Udinese recorded 5 victories, Milan recorded 4 victories, while one match ended as a draw. In their last 2 matches we saw under 2.5 goals.
Udinese played mostly against teams from the top half of the table in the last few weeks. They had a chance to reach the upper half of the table and maybe even fight for Europa League, but they lost 3 matches in a row and they will practically play the rest of the season without any competitive goal. However, in the beginning of the season their primary goal was to avoid the relegation battle and it seems they accomplished that - Udinese is currently 15 points above the relegation zone. They have several injured players currently: Silvan Widmer, Molla Wague and Emmanuel Badu, while Cyril Thereau is doubtful for the forthcoming match. Latest matches in Serie A: Udinese Calcio

Milan had the best start of the season in the last couple of years and they were hoping they would fight for the place in Champions League. However, they won only one out of their last 5 matches and their dreams of Champions League are shattered. They have to find their rhythm as soon as possible, or they will fail to qualify for Europa League too. Riccardo Montolivo, Matias Fernandez and Mattia De Sciglio are injured for the forthcoming match. Latest matches in Serie A: AC Milan

Both teams are in poor form at the moment. Milan simply must win this match, but Udinese has been pretty successful against them in the last couple of seasons, so we should witness an interesting match.
