After the defeat in Naples, AC Milan, managed by Massimiliano Allegri, will return to action on Saturday at San Siro at 6:00 pm against Udinese. This match will be very important for the Rossoneri’s path towards qualifying for the next edition of the Champions League, as well as for regaining some of the enthusiasm lost after the setback in Naples. The Italian club has won its last four Serie A meetings against the Friulian side, and only once have they recorded a longer winning streak against them in the top flight: seven between 1998 and 200 (likely 2000). Notably, Milan could beat this opponent four times in a row without conceding a goal for the first time in the competition.
Facts and figures ahead of the match against Udinese
After scoring eight goals between August and December 2025, Christian Pulisic has yet to find the net in the league this calendar year (13 appearances without scoring, his longest goal drought in Serie A). In 2026, the American has also had 12 shots on target without success, at least double that of any other player who has not scored in the competition this year.
In addition, Milan are one of four teams (along with Atalanta, Fiorentina, and Torino) against whom Nicolò Zaniolo has scored more than one Serie A goal (two against each). The 1999-born player is one of only three Italian players (alongside Federico Dimarco and Sebastiano Esposito) with at least five goals and five assists in this season’s league campaign. This was relayed via those at Milan News today.
