Udinese's coach Kosta Runjaic is under pressure after his team lost five consecutive league matches, their worst streak since 2018, and is currently tied on points with 18th-placed Fiorentina. The team's form fell off a cliff after a promising start to the season. Runjaic's future at Udinese is uncertain. The team is struggling, having lost to Inter and Lazio in September.

Milan, on the other hand, has yet to lose a Serie A fixture this season under new coach Ruben Amorim, who replaced Massimiliano Allegri in the summer. Despite being unbeaten, Milan had a disappointing European night, losing 3-0 to Bournemouth in the Europa League. Amorim had not fielded his best starting XI in that match, so Milan could bounce back on Sunday.

Udinese is expected to be without star defender David Alaba due to injury, while Nicolo Zaniolo returns from injury. Milan is missing Alexis Saelemaekers, Matteo Gabbia, and Samuel Chukwueze. The predicted lineups are Udinese (3-4-2-1) with Keinan Davis leading the line, and Milan (3-4-2-1) with Goncalo Ramos in attack. Milan is favored to win due to Udinese's poor form.
