Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Milan will be aiming to retain top position in the standings when they host Udinese to their Stadio San Siro on Matchday 27. The Rossoneri are determined to win their first Scudetto since 2011, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Both Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Simon Kjaer are sidelined with injuries, while Bennacer misses the game through suspension. Olivier Giroud is widely expected to lead the line for the league leaders.
The Zebrette, on the other hand, aim to escape the danger zone, but given their anything but good away record (2-4-6-) in the 2021/2022 season, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Defender Bram Nuytinck remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the away team in Friday’s clash.
Highlighted Player (Alessandro Florenzi):

Alessandro Florenzi is probably the most impressive product of AS Roma youth academy since Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi, and the full-back has already developed into an important player for both club and country.
Capable of operating as both right-back and right winger, the talented footballer is probably best remembered from scoring a marvellous goal from half-way line in the Champions League clash against Barcelona, but there is much more to him than an occasional wonder strike. While he usually played as a winger during his early career, Florenzi switched to attacking full-back at both Roma and Italy national team, and that proved a very good move for his career.
While helping the Gialorossi return to old glory days, the right-back left his mark on international stage as well, especially impressing since Antonio Conte took over the reigns in the national team. Despite the fact that he has yet to realise his full potential, Florenzi already boasts an impressive top flight experience and he is predicted a bright future in the game.
Highlighted Team (Udinese):
