Milan face Udinese, looking to bounce back

Milan aim to reclaim second place, while Udinese want to keep surprising.

After a painful defeat to Napoli, Milan host Udinese with two aims in mind: secure a Champions League spot and get back into second place. Udinese, however, are not backing down. After slowing down Como, they’re chasing a big result at San Siro and aiming for a top-10 finish.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

There have been 53 official matches between the two teams in Milan: Milan has 28 wins (the most recent 1-0, Serie A 2024/25), 17 draws (the most recent 1-1, Serie A 2021/22), and 8 wins for Udinese (the last 0-1, Serie A 2023/24).

On September 10, 1950, Milan 6-2 Udinese marked the Friulians’ debut in the top division’s single-round league: scoring that day were Liedholm, Annovazzi, Santagostino (two goals), Renosto, and Nordahl for the Rossoneri, and Perissinotto and Rinaldi for the Bianconeri.
