Seeking three wins on the spin, AC Milan will visit unbeaten Udinese this weekend’s gameweek four contest, with the sides set to meet on Saturday evening.
The Rossoneri have recovered from a shock loss on Serie A‘s opening day to beat both Lecce and Bologna, while their hosts have already humbled one Milan giant this season.
As expected, returning coach Massimiliano Allegri has tightened up Milan’s defence, and they have kept three clean sheets in four games so far – including last month’s cup win over Bari.
Fighting for a top-four spot is Milan’s main target – particularly after failing to qualify for European competition – and they will often have the opportunity to recover while rivals complete UEFA league-phase campaigns.
However, on home turf in Serie A, Udinese are on a six-match winless streak dating back to March, and an organised Milan side are sure to put them to the test.
Suspended for an outburst at the end of last week’s win, Max Allegri can watch on from the stands as his Milan side keep another clean sheet.
They may, however, fail to take maximum points, as Udinese have proved tough to defeat so far.
