Week 17 features a match on Sat Dec 11th, where Udinese hosts Milan at Dacia Arena in a Serie A match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 0 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. 14th placed Udinese is fresh off their 1-3 loss against Empoli. Gerard Deulofeu struck first for Udinese in the 22nd minute on a feed from Isaac Success, then in the 50th minute, Samuele Ricci sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Petar Stojanović But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 59th minute on a goal by Nedim Bajrami. Udinese looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 3 of their last 10, while in their last match, 1st placed Milan, recorded a 1-2 loss against Liverpool. Fikayo Tomori struck first for Milan in the 29th minute on a feed from Alessio Romagnoli, then in the 36th minute, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Mohamed Salah Finally they completed the comback in the 55th minute on a goal by Divock Origi to cap off a wild match. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Milan should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season Milan won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Milan’s top weapon lately has been Junior Messias, who has 3 goals in the last five matches. Udinese’s top weapon lately has been Beto, who has 3 goals in the last 5 matches.
