AC Milan will travel to Udine this Saturday to face Udinese.
The hosts clung onto their top-half position with just a one-point cushion ahead of this round thanks to a 1-0 victory over Empoli in their last Serie A outing. Manager Andrea Sottil stated that his side “deservedly won” that game.
He will be hoping that his boys can use the confidence gained after ending a six-game winless run by putting together back-to-back victories for the first time since last October.

A return to Dacia Arena could be a good omen for the host’s chances of entering the impending international break on a high as, despite failing to win here this year, they had lost only once (D4, L1).
AC Milan failed to boost their chance of a top-four finish last time when they were held to a 1-1 draw with Salernitana.
The Rossoneri are clinging onto a top-four berth by the skin of their teeth after a pair of winless league games (D1, L1). However, with their closest chasers, Roma playing on Sunday, Milan knows only a win will guarantee a top-four position during the international break.
Improving on some suspect away Serie A form in 2023 (W2, D1, L3) will be vital to securing the visitors’ place in the top tier of European football.
Having won just two of the last six away H2Hs (D2, L2), this game certainly won’t be easy for Milan.
