Milan suffered their second consecutive defeat. After the failure in the European Cup clash with Bayer, the Rossoneri lost in the championship. Thus, in the last round, the Devils played with Fiorentina. Fiorentina had a chance to take the lead on 22 minutes, but Mike Menyon deflected Keane's shot from the spot. However, Palladino's men still scored first. Adli scored in the 35th minute. Towards the end of the half, Hernandez converted a penalty, but the goalkeeper deflected it. Phenomenally, Abraham's shot from 11 metres at the start of the second half was also deflected away. Pulisic equalised, but the victory went to Fiorentina. The two defeats came on the back of two wins before that. Milan defeated Lecce 3-0 and won the Derby della Madonina in convincing fashion.

Udinese alternate wins and defeats. In the last round, the Friulians minimally defeated Lecce. In terms of the game? Not really. The fate of an even match was decided by Zemura's accurate free-kick towards the end of the game. Before that, the Bianconeri met with Inter. And although the scoreline of 2:3 might seem to suggest that the Nerazzurri were in trouble, that was not the case. "Snakes" dominated for most of the match, and the second goal "zebras" scored only in the final ten minutes. Even earlier, the team from Udine beat Salernitana in the cup and were defeated by Roma 3-0. It is noteworthy that Kosta Runjaic's men have problems in matches against top-flight clubs.

If you look at the statistical metrics, there is an obvious discrepancy between the real indicators and the expected ones. For example, Milan are 3.03 points short in xPTS (expected points). Udinese, on the other hand, according to this metric, have overshot by 5.29 points. At the same time, the Bianconeri should have conceded 3.05 more goals according to xGA. Three days after this game, the Rossoneri host Brugge in the Champions League. However, Paulo Fonseca hardly cares about that. The team need to get back on the winning track and rehabilitate themselves for their recent failures. Will it be easy for Milan? No. However, the quality of Udinese's football is not the same as it was at the start of the championship. "Rossoneri" should get a comfortable victory.
