Preview

Reigning Serie A Champions AC Milan will begin their Serie a 2022-23 campaign with a match against Udinese at home on Saturday. Milan have been in pretty good form in their pre-season fixtures. They have won four out of these five matches and will be eager to carry that form forward into Serie A. Udinese, on the other hand, finished 12th last time. As far as their pre-season form goes, it has been kind of a mixed-bag performance. They won three matches, lost two and one ended in a draw. Moreover, they have won just once in their last 10 matches against AC Milan. So, the odds are heavily stacked against them.
